After 100 days in office, Germany's business leaders support Merz's pro-business direction, but call for concrete measures to revive the economy.

More than 100 days after Chancellor Friedrich Merz took office, Germany's business leaders express support for pro-business policies, but call for their swift implementation. Merz won the election with a program focused on economic growth and investment, but business believes the government has so far delivered more rhetoric than action. A survey shows many economists perceive economic policy as negative, highlighting a lack of structural reforms and poor progress on digitalization. Business leaders are now calling for concrete measures to revitalize the German economy, which has been on a rollercoaster ride.
