Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Friederike Welter (IfM Bonn/University of Siegen) pointed out that investment activity in Mittelstand companies could be promoted by sorting out the labyrinth of investment subsidies and thinning them out.
Together with Dr. Marcus Optendrenk, Minister of Finance of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, and Heike Göbel, business editor at the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, she discussed the necessity of the debt brake and the possibility of its reform at an event organised by the Bonn Academy for Research and Teaching of Practical Politics at the end of January.
