Stephan Leithner, chief executive of Deutsche Börse, wants to turn more people in Germany into regular share savers. He has outlined a proposal aimed at encouraging broader participation in the stock market.
Leithner describes his idea as a “tax kick,” suggesting that tax incentives could help make share saving more attractive. The available information does not specify how the proposal would be structured or which tax measures it would include.
His comments focus on increasing share ownership among the German public and explaining how he believes that goal could be pursued.
