Markus J. Beyrer speaks about growth and industry at 46th St. Gallen Symposium
“I cannot question the need for growth. Growth is not an end in itself but a way of creating employment, incentivising investment, supporting redistribution, and increasing living standards. What we can question is the kind of growth we need and what mechanisms must be in place to have an inclusive growth”, Markus J. Beyrer said on a discussion panel on the need for growth. “In Europe we need to act on growth, both at the national level by implementing reforms that improve the resilience and competitiveness of economies, and at the EU level where we need smart regulation which does not harm companies – the main source of job creation”, he added.
