Through its Brussels Office, the German Economic Institute (IW) has a permanent representation and presence at the European level.
Brussels Liaison Office
Since the opening in mid-2015 our colleagues promote the IW’s ideas and arguments in European debates and exchanges. The mission for its work in the European capital is to advocate for policies favouring and supporting a socially responsible free market economy.
The institute aims to provide scientifically sound answers to key questions around European integration:
- What are the strengths and weaknesses of our joint economic system?
- What are the factors that will determine our future?
- How can the European economy remain competitive in a changing world?

Reinventing EU economic governance: What will become of the Stability and Growth Pact?
In the framework of the Spring 2022 European Semester package, the Commission announced the far-reaching decision to continue applying the general escape clause of the EU fiscal rules. This means that the deficit and debt rules can be ignored by the member states with the intention to provide financial support to businesses and citizens in times of crisis.
