From underinvestment into a powerful new growth cycle
"For an investor, Germany represents a compelling opportunity: industrial strength, stable institutions, scalability, leading research, and highly skilled talent. But the investment gap of up to EUR730bn that has opened in recent years shows that investment does not manifest on potential alone. Germany needs to simplify and speed up, reducing regulation, providing faster approvals, and creating attractive public-private projects to mobilize its vast private capitals resources.
Allianz has been a part of Germany’s economic history since 1890. Today, we invest approximately EUR100bn across the country covering a wide range of investments, including infrastructure, wind parks, or power networks. If Germany implements the necessary reforms with urgency and predictability, it can turn years of underinvestment into a powerful new growth cycle."
