  "account": "A survey conducted by Deutsche Bank reveals that international investors show strong interest in Europe despite certain obstacles. Alexander von zur Mühlen, Deutsche Bank's board member, summarized the findings of a study conducted by Kantar among 1,200 executives and decision-makers from 13 non-European markets in July and August. The results indicate that Germany ranks clearly at the top within Europe. Two-thirds of these companies (67%) have already invested in Europe, with the remaining planning to do so within the next five years.\n\nAccording to von zur Mühlen, companies are positive about Germany and Europe due to political and economic stability and innovation. However, they criticize the barriers to cross-border business, high costs, and slow approvals. Von zur Mühlen emphasizes that the biggest hindrance to Europe is Europe itself, due to the continent's fragmentation, which prevents the full utilization of the benefits of the single market. Responding to recent German state elections, where the AfD gained strength in Sachsen-Anhalt and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, von zur Mühlen points out the growing need for reforms. He stresses that populism does not solve any problems, and the important thing is that Europe and Germany maintain openness externally while increasing domestic reform pressure.",
  "summary": "Internationale Investoren loben Europas Stabilität, doch langsame Genehmigungen und hohe Kosten bremsen. Die Deutsche Bank sieht wachsenden Reformdruck - auch in Deutschland.",
