The economy is pushing for the relief package to be implemented quickly

Berlin The German economy is pushing for the rapid implementation of the 200 billion euro relief package for companies and consumers battered by high energy prices. A commission of experts, which also includes the President of the Association of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce (DIHK), Peter Adrian, is expected to make proposals by mid-October on what the planned gas price brake should look like in concrete terms.

“In order for companies to have planning security in a timely manner, it is important that politicians then implement appropriate measures quickly,” said Deputy DIHK General Manager Achim Dercks to the Handelsblatt. However, one sees a great deal of political will and therefore no need for additional short-term bridging aid. “It is much more important that simple and unbureaucratic solutions are found now,” says Dercks.
