No Dornröschenschlaf no more

The consensus view amongst economists is that Germany will hardly be able to grow its economy in 2024. At the same time, the view is getting more and more positive on the US.

In any case, it is time for European leaders in politics and society to get out of the current paralysis, get pro-active and finally implement the necessary and overdue pro-growth measures.
