How Strong Is Eastern Germany's Economy? — Markus Scholz in an Interview with n-tv

How strong is the East German economy today—and how stable is it compared to the West? Prof. Dr. Markus Scholz discussed this in an interview with n-tv. The discussion focused on the economic development of the eastern German states, the structural differences that still exist between East and West, and the question of what economic risks would be associated with the AfD potentially joining the government.

The discussion centered in particular on the attractiveness of East Germany as a business and investment location, the shortage of skilled workers, and the importance of stable democratic institutions and the rule of law for businesses. At the same time, the interview explored how resilient the East German economy has become and where structural differences with West Germany still persist.
