- Flexible Work Hours
- From fixed daily working hours to flexible weekly maximums, the new coalition plans to unleash employee autonomy and work-life balance.
- Scrapping or Pausing the Supply Chain Law
- Our economy could experience swift progress, as the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act may get kicked to the curb or put on hold.
- Relief on Energy Costs
- Good news for energy consumers! The coalition will swiftly act on reducing electricity taxes and network charges to lighten the load.
- Triggering an Investment Boost
- A corporate tax reform and improved depreciation options await corporations, aiming to kickstart growth and investment.
- Signaling a Turnaround
- Frei underscored the need for better economic conditions, less red tape, and a clear message to corporate giants and citizens that we're prepared to stage a comeback.
"The government must now show it can deliver, and we need to send a reassuring signal that we can drive change," Frei stated. With the federal government ready to go the extra mile, Frei stressed that the focus should remain on creating a conducive environment for the economy, without shortchanging citizens or society at large.
"Governing isn't a zero-sum game. Everyone must feel they're getting a substantial piece of the pie," Frei continued. He believes that, with an open mind and collaboration, the coalition can strike a balance, benefiting the nation as a whole.
So, buckle up! We're about to embark on a journey of growth, relief, and progress in the best interests of our citizens and businesses.
