German Federal Election 2025

With Change comes Opportunity

Following the collapse of Germany’s ruling coalition in November, the country is now gearing up for early elections on February 23, 2025. This election comes at a critical juncture as Germany grapples with the ongoing Russian war on Ukraine, a struggling economy, high energy prices, and deteriorating infrastructure. The stakes are high for the new government to restore political stability and reignite economic growth. 

As the world's third-largest economy, Germany must also navigate a shifting geopolitical landscape and challenging conditions for its export-driven economy. Internal fragmentation and polarization will likely complicate the formation of a new ruling coalition, making it difficult to achieve consensus on key issues. 

It is important for businesses invested in Germany to prepare for the potential outcomes: What economic strategies are proposed by the different parties?
Which priorities will a new government set – and how quickly can they be expected to be implemented throughout 2025? And, importantly, what impact will this have on individual sectors and business models?
