Berlin, October 13 (FinanceFlashNews.com) – Germany’s Social Democratic Party (SPD), led by Chancellor Olaf Scholz, has introduced a new program of tax relief and investment support aimed at revitalizing the German industrial sector and safeguarding jobs. This move is seen as part of their strategy to gain voter support ahead of the 2025 parliamentary elections. This information was reported by Reuters.
According to the strategic document, investors in Germany will benefit from tax breaks, which are designed to alleviate the struggles of the German industrial sector. The industry has seen a year-on-year decline in production due to high energy costs and strong competition from China and the U.S.. SPD also plans to implement income tax relief for 95% of taxpayers.
Additional measures proposed by the SPD include bonuses for purchasing electric vehicles manufactured in Germany, which have faced tough competition from cheaper imports from China. The party reiterated its call for a revision of the debt brake to boost investment in infrastructure, while also proposing state support to help manufacturers save on electric grid fees, improving the competitiveness of German industry.
Political parties in Germany are already preparing for the 2025 elections, with SPD seeking to strengthen its position through these economic measures.
