From bnnbloomberg.ca|Sep 26, 2021|1 commentWith German elections failing to produce a clear winner, the two major parties -- Finance Minister Olaf Scholz’s Social Democrats and the conservative CDU/CSU bloc under Armin Laschet -- are both plotting their next moves to secure the chancellery. The splintered political landscape means that they’ll need the Greens and the pro-business Free Democrats to form a majority. And that’s where it gets complicated. The Greens have traditionally been more comfortable with Scholz’s SDP. While FDP leader Christian Lindner is on the record as ...
From dailymail.co.uk|Sep 26, 2021Germany's centre-left Social Democrats took a razor-thin lead on Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives in the vote to decide her successor, preliminary results showed, sparking immediate claims from both sides to form the country's next government. The election ushers in the end of 16 years in power for Mrs Merkel, and also thrusts Germany, a byword for stability, into a new period of political uncertainty. With the conservative CDU-CSU alliance and the Social Democrats (SPD) each seeking to form governing coalitions in a race for ...

Officials from both parties said they hope to lead the next government. An exit poll for ARD public television put voters' support at 25 percent each for the Social Democrats — for whom outgoing Vice-Chancellor Olaf Scholz is running for chancellor — and Merkel’s ...
From apnews.com|Sep 26, 2021German voters are choosing a new parliament in an election that will determine who succeeds Chancellor Angela Merkel after her 16 years at the helm of Europe’s biggest economy. Polls point to a very close race Sunday between Merkel’s center-right Union bloc, with state governor Armin Laschet running for chancellor, and the center-left Social Democrats, for whom outgoing finance minister and Vice Chancellor Olaf Scholz is seeking the top job. Recent surveys show the Social Democrats marginally ahead. The environmentalist Greens, with ...
From edition.cnn.com|Sep 25, 2021The race to succeed Angela Merkel as German chancellor remains wide open ahead of a national election on Sunday, according to the latest polls. Poll predictions on Saturday point to the center-left Social Democrats (SPD) holding a small but narrowing lead over Merkel's party, the center-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU). Merkel has been a symbol of stability in Europe since she took on the role of chancellor in 2005. But after almost 16 years in the top job, she will step down once it becomes clear who her successor will be. The ...
From xm.com|Sep 24, 2021video An action-packed week lies ahead. Elections in Germany will be crucial for Eurozone’s spending agenda, while Japan’s ruling party will also select its new leader. Meanwhile in China, the Evergrande fallout is unlikely to spiral out of control, but the upcoming PMIs will tell us whether it has already started to infect economic growth. There’s also a heavy dose of data releases from the major economies and a rare meeting of the G4 central bank governors. The Fed meeting this week did not disappoint. Chairman Powell essentially ...
