Germany country watch
Exposure to Germany means watching Berlin's energy and industrial policy, Bundesbank and ECB signals, the ports of Hamburg and Bremerhaven, rail and road disruptions, and the autos, machinery, chemicals and Mittelstand firms at the centre of European supply chains. We read Handelsblatt, FAZ, Süddeutsche, Spiegel, WirtschaftsWoche and the regional press every morning.
