Does Germany need to reboot its economic model? HARDtalk’s
Stephen Sackur is in Berlin for an exclusive interview with
Germany's Vice Chancellor and Finance Minister Olaf Scholz. 30
years after unification, Germany is Europe's economic powerhouse
- but could it be running out of gas? Growth is down, so are
exports. Critics point to an economy dangerously reliant on the
technologies of the past, rather than the future. Brexit tensions
and economic nationalism in the US and China could be dampening
the growth prospects of big exporters like Germany.
