Get ready for a wave of international investments in Germany! According to KfW CEO Stefan Wintels, this European powerhouse is rapidly gaining the attention of global investors. In an exclusive interview with "Handelsblatt", Wintels shared that the current climate offers an ideal opportunity to engage with major international investors.
"Dozens of institutional investors are overextended in the US market, longing for more investment opportunities within Europe, particularly in Germany," said Wintels. He added that the enthusiasm for investing in Germany has been evident during roadshows in New York, London, and Zurich.
Wintels, who has enjoyed a 30-plus year career in finance, says he's never witnessed a greater shift in sentiment towards Germany. "The time is ripe for Germany and Europe to capitalize on this positive momentum," he said.
The coalition agreement, recently signed in Germany, is rich with points of contact that could attract these major investors. Key elements like modernizing infrastructure, streamlining bureaucracy, a commitment to qualified workforce immigration, and a dedication to climate goals by 2045 are all aspects that investors value.
"Stability and reliability are priceless commodities for investors." Wintels remarked, referencing the recent disruptions in the US market due to government actions. "The political stability we enjoy in Germany is an invaluable asset we must nurture."
Not only is Germany attracting investment from established markets like the US and the UK, but Asia, the Middle East, and Canada are also eyeing up the German investment scene. Wintels stated emphatically, "Unless we tap into the financial resources of these regions, we won't be able to raise the enormous sums needed for future investments."
An increased degree of financial market sovereignty in Germany is crucial, according to Wintels. "We don't need to rely on external financing. We’ve got the resources right here. In Germany, there are 9 trillion euros in private financial assets. Across Europe, the number skyrockets to 30 trillion euros."

It's time to ride the wave of global interest in Germany! The country's combination of crisis resistance, robust infrastructure, innovative technology, and an attractive real estate market make it a force to be reckoned with in the global investment landscape. As the government works towards sustainable technologies, digitalization, and infrastructure improvements, Germany's allure for international investors is set to strengthen further.
"The booming interest in Germany from global investors could be further fueled by the alignment of community policy, such as the commitment to qualified workforce immigration, with the expectations of these investors. This, coupled with the nation's vibrant business sector and financial resources, presents a conducive environment for employment policies that cater to the needs of both local and foreign investors."
"As Germany continues to attract investment from established markets like the US and UK, as well as Asia, the Middle East, and Canada, the implementation of finance-friendly policies would allow the country to maximize these investments and achieve its goals in modernizing infrastructure, streamlining bureaucracy, and meeting climate goals by 2045."
