Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), speaks to the media following talks at the Chancellery on November 29, 2022 in Berlin, Germany.
"If you look at the policy decisions Germany is taking, they are around stimulating structural change.
And of course, like any other country, structural reforms are a must in this more uncertain world with low gross growth prospects," Georgieva said Wednesday.
The auto industry should be a particular focus for reform in Germany if the country wants to increase productivity, according to Georgieva.
"For Germany, this is very visible in the need to restructure the automobile sector for this economy of tomorrow," she said.
