Germany secures ~$900B investment pledges by 2028; Merz promises tax, energy, regulatory reforms

German Chancellor Merz announced that companies have pledged nearly $900 billion in investments in Germany by 2028, backed by government commitments to tax relief, cheaper energy, and regulatory reforms. The scale of pledges, if realized, would mark a significant boost to Germany's growth outlook, but implementation and follow-through remain uncertain. This signals a potential shift in Germany's investment climate, with implications for European growth and market sentiment.
