    Recovery as a springboard for change: Germany and the EU

    2. DIW Women’s Finance Summit

    After failing to fully recover from the last financial crisis, the pandemic poses major new challenges for banks. However, this time, banks are not the problem, but part of the solution. By providing credit to the economy, banks play a crucial role in fighting the pandemic by ensuring the transmission of fiscal and monetary stimulus to the economy. Nevertheless, banks are not among the winners of...

    Towards a green and smart economy in Germany and the EU

    Investing in Europe’s green and digital future

    Reform Priorities for Germany – an OECD Perspective

    As the Germany economy has slowed sharply and is facing increasing trade uncertainty, advancing the reform agenda is key to revive economic growth and address inequality. A long-standing public investment backlog is holding back the take-up of new technologies, productivity and private investment.

This has consequences for China's economic policy. In the past decades this has led to growing...

    The role of fiscal policy in advancing structural reforms in Europe

    Europe is in need of further structural reforms but appetite for them seems to be waning, partly due to political opposition and concerns about their distributive and short-term economic effects. Could upfront fiscal support enhance the gains from reforms and break this political deadlock? Would this weaken or instead strengthen public finances over the medium term? What should countries without...
