德意志银行首席执行官警告称,在边缘政党赢得选举后,德国对国际投资者的吸引力面临风险。
The CEO of Deutsche Bank has warned that Germany's appeal to international investors is at risk after fringe political parties' electoral gains.
本月早些时候,极右翼政党AfD在萨克森-安哈尔特州赢得了一场州选举。该党上周又在梅克伦堡-前波莫瑞州赢得另一场州选举,而左翼政党Die Linke则在柏林赢得选举。
Earlier this month, the far-right AfD party won a state election in Saxony-Anhalt. The party won another state election in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern last week, while left-wing Die Linke won elections in Berlin.
AfD提议严格限制移民和庇护。Die Linke在首都的竞选活动重点是将大型企业房东的住房收归公有。
The AfD proposes sharply restricting immigration and asylum. Die Linke's campaign in the capital focused on putting large corporate landlords' housing into public ownership.
一位经济学家此前告诉CNBC,选举结果显示,总理弗里德里希·默茨的增长改革“没有足够的民众支持”,其联邦政府一直在失去支持。
An economist previously told CNBC that the results showed there was "not enough popular support" for the growth reforms of Chancellor Friedrich Merz, whose federal government has been losing support.
德意志银行老板克里斯蒂安·泽温周三对CNBC的安妮特·魏斯巴赫表示,选举结果“对德国不利”,他说这为投资者提供了“稳定的环境、法治,也明确代表欧盟”。“许多投资者也在关注欧洲,因为他们认为我们尚未充分受益于一个联合的欧洲。如果你实际上有政党背弃欧洲,那显然不符合国际投资者的利益,”他补充道。
Speaking to CNBC's Annette Weisbach on Wednesday, Deutsche Bank boss Christian Sewing said the election results were "not positive for Germany," which he said offered investors "this stable environment, the rule of law, clearly also standing for the European Union." "A lot of investors are also eyeing on Europe because they think that we are not benefiting sufficiently yet from a joint Europe. If you then have actually parties who actually turn their back to Europe, that is obviously not in the interest of international investors," he added.
泽温与西门子CEO罗兰·布施一同接受采访时还表示,德国需要“让欧洲成为我们的本土市场,并且我们能够在这方面表现出色。所以这是国际投资者的希望。”“过去三周显然没有帮助,”他补充道。
Sewing, who was interviewed alongside Siemens CEO Roland Busch, added that Germany needs to "make it happen that Europe becomes a home market for us, and actually that we can excel on that. So that's the hope of the international investors." "The last three weeks clearly did not help," he added.
泽温和布施是去年共同发起“为德国制造”倡议的商业人物之一,该倡议支持默茨的改革,并承诺参与者在该国投资。
Sewing and Busch were among the business figures who co-launched the "Made for Germany" initiative last year, which supports Merz's reforms and committed participants to investing in the country.
