Annual Report

2024 was a challenging year for all actors in politics, business and civil society: Against the backdrop of a turbulent international scene marked by Donald Trump’s re-election and ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the Middle East, Germany’s economy stagnated and the “traffic-light” coalition collapsed. 
At ZEW, we closely followed these developments and the associated political and economic uncertainties and new demands, conducting evidence-based analyses. We have elaborated policy recommendations to help navigate these complexities and reinforce stability. Accordingly, our annual report for 2024 centres on the theme of STRENGTH.
