In a recent interview with Bloomberg, Joachim Nagel, a key figure in the European Central Bank (ECB) Governing Council and President of the Bundesbank, shared his insights on Germany's economic future. While acknowledging the possibility of a recession in 2025, Nagel remained optimistic about the country's economic recovery in the long term.

Fiscal Stimulus: A Step in the Right Direction

Nagel commended the German government's fiscal stimulus measures, emphasizing their importance in signaling Germany's commitment to economic stability. He reassured that these measures would not exacerbate inflation in the Eurozone, projecting the ECB's key interest rate to stabilize at 2% by 2025.

Global Economic Policies: A Call for Unity

Addressing global economic tensions, Nagel highlighted the need for the Eurozone to forge a cohesive response to U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff policies. He also cautioned against undermining the U.S. Treasury and the dollar's role as global safe havens, advocating for a balanced approach to international economic relations.
