Veronika Grimm

Veronika Grimm is a German economist and a member of the German Council of Economic Experts (often referred to as "Wirtschaftsweise"), which advises the German government on economic policy. She is currently newsworthy due to her proposals to address rising fuel prices in Germany. Specifically, Grimm has suggested implementing a speed limit on German roads as a way to reduce fuel consumption. This proposal has gained traction amidst the energy crisis and rising concerns about the cost of living. She views a speed limit as a sensible measure and a signal that Germany is taking the oil crisis seriously, especially when compared to other countries that have implemented stricter measures. She also considers the current government measures as insufficient. While her suggestion is gaining attention, other proposed economic reforms, such as those related to housing and retirement, are also being debated.
