Politics

GDV represents the interests of the insurance sector vis-à-vis politicians. The industry is of great importance for the entire national economy. The topics with which the association contributes to the political discourse are correspondingly diverse and extensive.

Policy positions Copy link

Germany is facing crucial years. The new federal government promises a "coalition of modernisation" and dares to make more progress. The war in the Ukraine has shifted priorities in the political agenda of the German government, in Germany and in Europe. We show in our policy positions the topics in which we want to get involved in the upcoming political debates and projects to achieve joint results.

Our positions

  • Digitisation

  • Regulation

    Insurers can use their enormous capital to drive Germany's modernisation and decarbonisation. Their financial strength should therefore not be unjustifiably restricted, but rather private investment should be facilitated. Learn more

  • Working world

    Corona and digitisation have changed the working world. This also results in new requirements for insurers: Forms of work such as crowdwork and platform work should be possible. Mobile work should be further facilitated. Learn more
