The National Administration - Scholz states that there has never been as much bureaucracy reduced before.
According to German Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD), progress in reducing bureaucracy for the economy has improved more than it has in a long time. Scholz expressed this during a public discussion in his district of Potsdam, stating that there has never been as many bureaucracy reductions as in the past two years. He pointed to factors such as the acceleration of railroad line and highway route building, as well as a simplification of building regulations. The approval process for a wind turbine happens too slowly, said Scholz, adding that it's "crazy" if every radio mast requires two to four years of validity.
Scholz also mentioned the reform of the Federal Immission Control Act, which will be passed soon. Its goal is to allow "a huge number of plant permits" to be issued more quickly. This will be achieved by increased digitalization and the removal of bureaucratic barriers.
During the Citizens' Panel discussion, Scholz stated that he is the most business-friendly chancellor in ages. Unlike others, he takes a genuine interest in the economy. Germany is currently dealing with weakening global trade. "We have to accept the risk that the global economy is fluctuating," stated the Chancellor. The Federal Government is tackling staffing concerns, reducing bureaucracy, and advancing electromobility in climate change efforts. "We need to strike a balance between being an industrialized nation and having zero CO2 emissions by 2045. Our companies can do this, and most of them already know how," he said.
There is disagreement between the leading business associations and Chancellor Scholz. The Chancellor criticized the business community for underestimating the situation, citing factors such as decreased inflation, declining energy costs, high employment, and expanding renewable energy. Industrial companies in Germany do not anticipate a strong economic recovery anytime soon.
Scholz spent over an hour and a half participating in a relaxed discussion with about 100 citizens in Potsdam, where he fielded questions. At the end, many had their photos taken with the Chancellor, a resident of the Brandenburg state capital.
