Surging energy prices, high inflation, war in Europe – the European Union is confronted with new challenges since Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine in 2022. In this episode, our host Bernd Christoph Ströhm from the Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies and Thomas Kögler from the Austrian National Bank explore the role of Germany as the EU’s economic powerhouse in addressing these challenges. Listen in when they dive into Germany’s past, discuss German economic policies and unwind the country’s vital role in the EU. Learn about ways to strengthen EU consolidation and what role Germany can actually assume in promoting “unity” within Europe. Find out about possibilities to facilitate a reform of the EU and what a Europe of different speeds means.
