Offenbach’s Business Chamber Sets 2026 Election Demands for Stability
The Offenbach am Main Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) has outlined its key demands for the 2026 local elections. The position paper covers six critical areas, from digital infrastructure to urban planning. Businesses in the region are now awaiting to see if political parties will adopt these proposals.
The IHK’s demands are based on its Location Barometer and direct feedback from local companies. The paper aims to provide a 'clear substantive contribution' and outline 'what businesses need at this location'. Stability in taxation is a major concern, with firms opposing new municipal taxes or higher trade tax multipliers. Instead, the Chamber calls for predictable revenue policies and regular reviews of public spending.
The IHK’s position paper now serves as a benchmark for the 2026 elections. Political parties have yet to respond directly to the six core demands. Businesses in Offenbach am Main will be closely watching to see if these proposals influence future policies.
