The pledges relate to projects worth over 100 million euros and do not include smaller investments. Reiche also emphasized the need for structural reforms, including changes to the social security systems, a more flexible labor market, and reduced bureaucracy and energy costs. The investment summit, which began on Monday evening in a disused power plant in Berlin, is attended by around 200 international and German CEOs. Reiche encouraged a more optimistic view of Germany, citing the country's Triple-A rating, trade surplus, and low debt.",
