The Dresden Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) has given a sobering assessment of economic development in the Free State and given the federal government poor marks. "We expected more. So the autumn of reforms was an autumn, but there was no sign of the reforms," said IHK President Andreas Sperl. The disappointment among the member companies was great.
IHK complains about the regulatory frenzy of politicians and the public administration
They would have liked to see a real sign and "not just arguing and talking, to put it mildly", said Sperl. For example, he would have liked to see concrete measures in terms of a "lean state". "The regulatory frenzy of politics and public administration should have been limited."
"The federal government could have focused more on the personal responsibility of entrepreneurs," said Sperl. That would have had an eye-opening effect. "Of course, I am also aware that many other legislative projects cannot be implemented overnight. But there would certainly have been opportunities to significantly improve the mood in the business community."
