A survey conducted by the research institute INSA indicates widespread public doubt regarding the stability and effectiveness of the German federal government. According to the findings, 57% of respondents anticipate that the current coalition government will end before its scheduled term concludes in 2029, while only 29% expect it to serve the full term.

Public confidence in the administration's ability to enact major reforms this year is also low, with 65% of those surveyed expressing doubt. Citizens identified pensions, the economy, and healthcare as the most urgent policy areas requiring political action. The perceived lack of stability and reform speed may have implications for business planning and the implementation of technological projects.
