Summary
Germany’s ruling coalition agreed on a reform package covering pensions, the labor market and income tax, according to officials familiar with Wednesday’s talks in Berlin.
Party leaders met at the Federal Chancellery, but the government did not disclose terms of the deal, leaving the substance of the changes unclear for now.
The Christian Democratic Union scheduled a 9 a.m. local press conference on Thursday, when Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s alliance is expected to outline the package.
The agreement gives Merz a concrete policy breakthrough across three major economic and social files, with details set to determine its fiscal and political impact.
