On Tuesday, they give a speech in front of the Chamber of Commerce in Vienna about the current geopolitical record shifts. What is Germany’s former finance minister at the world at the moment? Are we at the beginning of a new era?
Christian Lindner: There is no end to history. Donald Trump led to a disruption at the latest. The world is reorganized. We have entered a phase in which market shares are redistributed and influence is re -sorted. But I remain optimist. This new world situation also opens up for Europe, Germany and Austria both politically and economically.
What has to do Europe so as not to be crushed in these rough times?
I determine a strong capital inflow into the EU. It suddenly becomes interesting as a safe port for investors from Asia and the Middle East. This is not yet a strength, but rather escape from uncertainty elsewhere. Our task is now to use this possibility window and increase your own attractiveness.
And how should Europeans do this?
