Wirtschaftsminister Altmaier legt Wirtschaftsbericht vor

A slight improvement in the economy is expected for the Federal Government's Annual Economic Report 2020. The reason is new clarities in Brexit and the recent defuses in the trade conflict between China and the United States. The Minister for Economic Affairs will also present his new coal phase-out law. On the one hand, this regulates the shutdown schedule agreed between the federal and state governments for the German lignite-fired power plants. On the other hand, the regulations for the exit from hard coal that have been established for some time are also part of the draft by 2038.
