Germany’s Strengths and Weaknesses in Uncertain Times

Staying ahead in uncertain times requires clarity – and voices with real experience.

Exactly one year ago, I had the privilege of speaking with Dr. Andreas Dombret, former Executive Board Member of the Deutsche Bundesbank and former Supervisory Board Member at the European Central Bank.

What strikes me: One year later, many of Dr. Dombret’s observations remain as relevant as ever.

Have we made enough progress — or are we facing the same challenges today?“ 🧐

In this interview, Dr. Dombret highlights:

  • Germany’s strengths – and why we must also face our weaknesses with courage.
  • Why Germany cannot simply be “the Switzerland of Europe” and why supporting Ukraine matters for our future.
  • How the European way of democracy offers lessons for the U.S. – and for all of us navigating global shifts.
