💨 Abstract

Germany's Chancellor-in-waiting Friedrich Merz has appointed Katherina Reiche as his likely economy minister and Johann Wadephul as foreign minister as part of his initial cabinet appointments. The coalition deal between Merz's CDU/CSU conservatives and the centre-left Social Democrats aims to boost growth and defence spending, with a focus on digitalization, lower taxes, and support for the electric car industry.
