  • Germany's incoming finance minister Lars Klingbeil is a self-styled political "bridge-builder" whose calm and personable demeanour belies his sharp political instincts.

Lars Klingbeil, a 44-year-old politician from the Social Democratic Party (SPD) in Germany, has been appointed as the country's next finance minister, succeeding Christian Lindner. Known for his role as a bridge-builder within the SPD, Klingbeil has been instrumental in navigating the party through recent political challenges, including coalition negotiations. His appointment comes at a critical time as Germany faces economic recovery and fiscal policy decisions.

His focus will be on addressing economic inequalities and promoting sustainable growth, aligning with the SPD's broader social and environmental goals.
