German Chancellor Angela Merkel has vindicated her international cooperation model before the Davos Forum and evoked her performance in the euro crisis. " They say that I am very bad, because I establish very hard conditions, but Portugal, Ireland, Greece ... are now in more competitive positions ." And he has attributed that improvement to the "hardness" of conditions and also to "the willingness to help" of Germany and the richest countries in the euro. He has not come to mention Spain, which received bank bailout, but not total like other states.

Merkel has supported the continuation of European integration and has set an example in advancing the banking union " so that our currency continues to grow ", but without specifically mentioning the creation of a European deposit fund.

The chancellor has already passed the euro crisis and stressed that the challenge of this phase of history is the fight against climate change, which she has described as a "matter of survival." He has appealed to the auditorium of the World Economic Forum for "dialogue" between those who warn of climate change and those who deny it. "In the 21st century, no one can refuse to talk to anyone," he said in general, going beyond the ecological transition.

He has said that Germany is investing as never before in technology for this fight, when it is criticized that it does not use its fiscal margin to stimulate growth. For Merkel, the best way to prevent the global slowdown from progressing is to deactivate trade wars . "We are in an era of commercial conflicts and we see that when they occur, the economy slows down immediately." She has supported the European Union to reach a trade agreement with the United States as the one proposed by the president of the European Commission, Ursula Von der Leyen, and also a new pact with the United Kingdom after she left the EU.
