Lindner’s new arguments for building wealth on the stock exchange

Berlin For Finance Minister Christian Lindner (FDP), the support comes at the right time. While the federal government is negotiating the design of the so-called share pension, the scientific advisory board of his ministry has presented an expert opinion. In it, the economists of the traffic light coalition recommend building a funded pension.

“The Advisory Board encourages politicians to take the forthcoming talks on the reform of old-age provision as an opportunity to set the course for the long term in Germany,” the paper says.

“The social pension systems must be designed to be future-proof, which is made much easier by the wealth accumulation of the citizens on the capital market.” The advisory board consists of 32 economists, it is independent of the ministry.

The ministry leadership sees itself as confirmed by the results of the report. They corresponded “excellently with the projects of the coalition agreement,” said Secretary of State for Finance Florian Toncar (FDP).
