Udo Dinglreiter advarer mod nedadgående spiral i metalindustrien

Formanden for Gesamtmetall betragter situationen i metal- og elektroindustrien som dramatisk og udtrykker tvivl om det kommende møde med arbejdsmarkedets parter.

Udo Dinglreiter, formand for arbejdsgiverforeningen Gesamtmetall, kritiserede det møde, som forbundskansler Friedrich Merz har planlagt med arbejdsmarkedets parter. Han understregede, at det kun ville være nyttigt, hvis alle parter viste en oprigtig vilje til at finde løsninger. Ellers ville man spilde værdifuld tid.

Metal- og elektroindustrien, som udgør omkring to tredjedele af den tyske industri, står over for store udfordringer. Dinglreiter advarede om yderligere jobtab og en nedadgående spiral, der ville reducere skatteindtægterne. Han forventer snart færre arbejdspladser, end der var efter genforeningen.

Kinesiske investeringer i EU ville ikke gavne Tyskland, da de hovedsageligt flyder til andre lande. Dette ville skabe nye konkurrenter dér med bedre vilkår, sagde Dinglreiter i interviewet med Handelsblatt.
