The organizational decree from the Chancellery provides new disappointments for the Ministry of Economic Affairs, which has already been established in the coalition negotiations. The responsibility for innovation and technology policy goes to the Ministry of Research, together with the “Sprind” innovation agency inspired by American industrial policy. The new Digital Ministry can take care of the digital economy and thus large parts of the start-up policy. The fundamental questions of transformation policy move to the Ministry of Finance with the Vice Chancellery. To put it bluntly: Katherina Reiche is the Minister of Old Business. Others are responsible for everything that is promising. The central adjustment screws, as the economy from three years of zero growth should find, shoot ministries in the black and red coalition by the SPD or CSU. In order to influence the economic policy, rich legroom will have to be made, no conflicts with cabinet colleagues are not excluded. The Ministry of Economic Affairs must again become the government’s “conscience of order policy”, explained Reiche of the workforce. Greetings to Robert Habeck: Climate protection is not everything. She gave an unusually programmatic speech for the occasion. There was no administrator, but the manager who was enough in the energy industry until recently. It takes over a severely reduced ministry. But small does not want to be enough. It is that you will measure whether the desired one to two percent of economic growth will be achieved. However, the cut of the individual ministries is less crucial, but rather how they work together. The team idea was not particularly pronounced in the initiation phase of this government. That has to get better quickly now.
