Gastkommentar: Das Interesse privater Investoren an Europa steigt
Deutschland muss strategische Abhängigkeiten abbauen. Für Europa ist wirtschaftliche Sicherheit auch Voraussetzung für Wachstum, meint Bernard Mensah von der Bank of America.
The rise in private investor interest in Europe marks a significant shift in German economic strategy. Globalization has been the backbone of Germany's economic success over the past few decades, leading to open markets, interconnected supply chains, and reduced energy and transportation costs. These factors have allowed Germany to bolster its competitive edge as an export-driven economy for over three decades.
However, this strategy has also created significant economic dependencies and highlighted economic risks, such as Europe's reliance on US technologies for artificial intelligence and digital infrastructure, as well as cybersecurity risks exacerbated by geopolitical tensions on both financial and operational levels.
Recent trends of increasing globalization withdrawal have led to a paradigm shift in Germany, with a renewed focus on economic security. This shift emphasizes the state's role in ensuring economic stability and growth by enhancing resilience against both internal and external risks. In practice, this new focus influences how state funds and investor capital are directed and utilized. The rise in private investor interest in Europe reflects this shift towards prioritizing economic security and resilience.
