Germany’s newly formed government has presented its Koalitionsvertrag – the coalition agreement. This document is not just a political compromise; it’s a roadmap for the next four years of policymaking. While the agreement itself is not legally binding, it serves as a political commitment by the coalition parties for the entire legislative term. Its provisions will shape forthcoming legislative initiatives and form the basis for future reforms – setting not only political aspirations but also concrete and actionable directions for the government’s work.
For international businesses and investors, it offers key insights into the future regulatory and economic landscape.
