Banken-Gipfel: Goldman-Manager: „Das Interesse, in Deutschland zu investieren, ist sehr hoch“

Frankfurt - Despite numerous challenges, investors view Germany positively, according to Goldman-Sachs manager Wolfgang Fink at the Handelsblatt Banking Summit. Fink, Germany's chief at the US giant bank, stated that there is "a lot of interest in investing in Germany" during the event. Germany boasts "outstanding companies that operate globally," and the planned billion-euro projects by the federal government, particularly in defense and infrastructure, are "of interest to many investors," he added.

However, Fink noted that investors would like "more specifics, timelines, action plans, and responsibilities." Germany's companies should "become indispensable in the international competition" rather than focusing on isolating themselves from the US or China, Fink continued. To reduce dependence over time, Germany needs to become "strategically more important," the Goldman-Sachs manager emphasized.

While Germany has become somewhat cautious regarding critical industries, especially with China, he understands this shift. The banker acknowledged that "we could not ask every investment where the dollar came from." Instead, "we need the capital."
