The world economy is in a phase of transition. Ongoing shifts in the global economic structure, such as new emerging powers, increasing debt rates in several western countries, and declining global demand may cause new challenges for the current institutions of economic governance in Germany, Europe and the rest of the world. How did Germany cope with the increasing economic challenges of the Euro-crisis, and which role did small and medium-sized enterprises and the German social market economy play in this? Why has Europe remained an economically still a strong continent? Which global economic developments and fundamental restructurings of the global trade and economic relations can be expected? How will economies react to these changes? Which models of economic governance are suited for a better handling of global economic challenges?
The Vice-Chairman of the CDU/CSU-Parliamentary Group, Dr. Michael Fuchs, will hold a lecture about these issues, and subsequently provide answers in a question round.
Dr. Fuchs has had a rich variety of experiences in the fields of business, economics and international trade as a politician as well as an entrepreneur. Furthermore, he is one of the important decision-makers of German economic governance and policy-making.
