In China, it was always said that a double-digit rate of growth would be dangerous. Now, the country has a growth rate of 6.9 percent and suddenly that is supposed to be a catastrophe for the global economy.

More quotes by Wolfgang Schauble
I'm a firm believer in the monetary union.
Wolfgang Schauble
We will not be able to meet the challenges of integration and the threats posed by international terrorism. If we want to prevent attacks, we'll need more information and better integration.
Wolfgang Schauble
As for the role of France and Germany: French politics is often more self-confident then German politics due to the catastrophe in the first half of the last century. If Berlin and Paris don't agree, then it is difficult to make progress in Europe.
Wolfgang Schauble
Britain is economically very closely integrated with its European partner countries. Were these ties to be cut, it would be a huge step backwards for the country and would weaken it considerably. In the era of globalisation, splendid isolation is not a smart option.
Wolfgang Schauble
We need more personnel within our security agencies.
Wolfgang Schauble
I don't know how many resolutions from the IMF or G-20 we have already written saying that such [financial] reforms are necessary for new growth.
Wolfgang Schauble
During the centuries-long process of Reformation and Enlightenment, Christian churches had to accept some things they didn't like. Islam will have to do the same otherwise it isn't part of Europe.
Wolfgang Schauble
I don't want to interpret the pope's words, especially as I am one of those horrible people who fell away from the Roman church after Martin Luther.
Wolfgang Schauble
Emmanuel Macron wants a stronger Europe, just as the chancellor and I do. I was impressed that the new president climbed onto the stage in front of the Louvre to the sound of the European anthem after his election victory. That was a very powerful symbol. It is very clear: Macron is our ally.
Wolfgang Schauble
By preventing new conflicts, we avert the causes of radicalization and the risk of terrorist attacks in Europe, including in Germany.
Wolfgang Schauble
I would caution against fueling cheap populism. First of all, every German who has spent a vacation in Greece knows that the standard of living there isn't higher than it is in Germany. Second, Greece is paying a high price for European assistance.
Wolfgang Schauble
The German export successes are not the result of some sort of currency manipulation, but of the increased competitiveness of companies. The American growth model, on the other hand, is in a deep crisis.
Wolfgang Schauble
It has been clear for some time now that we have to do more for domestic and external security. I am prepared for that.
Wolfgang Schauble
It is clear to us that we will have to become more involved in our neighboring regions so that the migration pressures aren't so high there. Of course the budget negotiations will be difficult, as they always are.
Wolfgang Schauble
I can't think of many other laws we might need. For now, though, we'll be talking to German Muslims over issues of coexistence.
Wolfgang Schauble
Religion teachers for Islam instruction are being trained now in Münster and Erlangen. This has to happen quickly. My goal is to achieve relevant results within two years.
Wolfgang Schauble
Most of the mosques were built in our cities in recent years because Turkish citizens in those neighborhoods feel a growing need for places to pray.
Wolfgang Schauble
You cannot form a community of countries of different strength without a certain amount of equilibrium. That is reflected in, for example, the EU budget and the bailout programs. That is why there are net payers and net recipients in Europe. A community cannot exist if the stronger do not take responsibility for the weaker.
Wolfgang Schauble
It is true that no member state can be required to make payments to others. But if countries want to offer voluntary assistance, as in the Greek case, this isn't only allowed, but it's also in Germany's interest. We all benefit by ensuring the stability of the euro zone.
Wolfgang Schauble
Many things can happen very quickly in times of crisis.
