Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology

The central priority of economic policy - and therefore of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology - is to lay the foundations for economic prosperity in Germany and to ensure that this prosperity is spread broadly throughout the population. This overarching priority gives rise to specific objectives that serve as guideposts for the formulation of economic policy.

These objectives include developing opportunities to ensure sustained economic growth and competitiveness with other economies, ensuring a high level of employment, strengthening small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), promoting new technologies and innovation to maintain economic competitiveness, linking economic and ecological goals, expanding the worldwide division of labour and a free system of world trade, ensuring a secure energy supply at appropriate prices.
