Bei der Rentendebatte liegt die jüngere Generation richtig. Wenn die Renten weiterhin mit den Löhnen steigen wie bisher, dann zahlen die Jüngeren das über höhere Abgaben oder Steuerzuschüsse. Dem muss mit unangenehmen Einschnitten begegnet werden.

💡@monika-schnitzer.com, Vorsitzende des Sachverständigenrates, überreichte in Berlin das Jahresgutachten 2025/2026 an Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz. Anschließend standen sie sowie ihre Ratskollegen der Bundespressekonferenz Rede und Antwort.

Nach zwei Jahren Rezession erwartet der SVR 2025 ein reales Wachstum von 0,2%, 2026 von 0,9%. Schwache private Investitionen und geringes Exportwachstum bremsen die Erholung. Ein Drittel des Wachstums 2026 geht auf das Finanzpaket, ein weiteres auf Kalendereffekte zurück. @svrwirtschaft.bsky.social
