German Bank Chief: Growth May Reduce Polarization
Nuh, the head of the German Savings Banks Association, Ulrich Reuter, confirmed that the economic recovery in Germany could contribute to reducing political polarization. The government has raised its economic growth forecasts to 1.3% in 2026 and 1.1% in 2027, compared to previous predictions of lower growth. He also pointed out that the establishment of more than 3,000 startups during the first half of 2026, a 52% increase over the second half of 2025, reflects positive development in the economy, while lending has increased by 5.8%, indicating a return of companies to investment. He believes that continuing economic reforms and easing procedures for establishing companies are important to boost growth, especially as German politics have been influenced by weak economic performance and the rise of far-right and far-left parties in the latest elections.
