The world economy is in transition. Ongoing shifts in the global economic structure such as new emerging powers, increasing debt rates in several western states and declining global demand may cause new challenges for the current institutions of economic governance in Germany, Europe and the world. How did Germany as Europe’s biggest economy successfully cope with the increasing economic challenges despite the Euro-crisis and which role did Small and Medium Enterprises and the German Social Market Economy play for that? Why is Europe despite the debt crisis economically still a strong continent? Which global economic developments and fundamental restructuring of the global trade and economic relations can be expected? How could and should economies react on these changes? Which models of economic governance are suited for a better handling of the global economic challenges?
The Vice-Chairman of the CDU/CSU-Parliamentary Group, Dr. Michael Fuchs, will speak on these issues and subsequently answer questions and comments.
