Zwischen Trump und Xi

We were delighted to welcome Dr. Dirk Schumacher, Chief Economist at KfW, for an insightful talk on “The global economy in search for a new equilibrium”. His perspectives on Europe’s geopolitical and economic positioning sparked rich discussions and plenty of follow‑up ideas among our members.

Hearing these insights from someone at the center of KfW, one of Europe’s most important promotional banks, added a special dimension to the evening. With its mission to strengthen innovation, sustainability, and long‑term economic resilience, KfW plays a pivotal role in shaping Germany’s and Europe’s economic future. Dr. Schumacher’s macroeconomic expertise, combined with this broader institutional perspective, made the discussion particularly valuable.

A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Matthias Trefs and the entire KfW Bankengruppe for their warm hospitality and for hosting us in such an inspiring setting.
