The German federal government announced a timetable for reforms of the pension system and the automotive sector. Chancellor Olaf Merz said the coalition has reached an agreement on the pension bill, which is expected to be passed this year, and a comprehensive reform is planned for 2026. The government also agreed on measures to phase out combustion‑engine vehicles and to launch a new subsidy programme to encourage private purchase of electric cars. Merz emphasized that the automotive policy aims to balance climate protection, competitiveness and job security through an innovation‑friendly, technology‑open regulation covering electric, hybrid and high‑performance combustion engines. The government will push further investment in the sector to enable more private citizens to buy electric vehicles.
