Peter Leibinger, head of Germany’s leading industry association (BDI), has described Germany as a strong long-term investment, comparing it to a “value stock” despite current challenges. He emphasized the importance of stability and reliability for economic success. Leibinger firmly stated that cooperation with the far-right AfD party is impossible, citing fundamental differences in values and economic policy. He identified weaknesses in Germany’s economic environment, though he did not detail specifics in this report. Despite these concerns, Leibinger expressed confidence in Germany’s underlying economic strength, stating he would invest in the country if it were structured as a corporation. His comments aim to reassure investors and stakeholders about Germany’s economic prospects while drawing a clear line against political extremism. The BDI represents the interests of German industrial companies.
