AI-generated illustrative image · not a real photographGerman employers’ association chief Kampeter warns against reopening the pension package.
Background & Context
Steffen Kampeter is chief executive of the Confederation of German Employers’ Associations, or BDA, Germany’s umbrella organization for employers’ groups. He criticized resistance from several state premiers to key parts of the planned pension package, particularly the proposal to end full early retirement after 45 years of pension contributions.
Kampeter said it left him “stunned” that parts of the package were being questioned before implementation. His further claim that the reform may be the last chance to make the pension system sustainable as Germany’s population ages is a political judgment.
