BGA Hosts Client Call on Germany's Political Stalemate and European Uncertainty

BGA’s Jan Kallmorgen (CEO) and Dierk Brandenberg (Managing Partner, London) headlined a client call forecasting 2018 risks emanating out of Europe and Germany and their impact on investor decision making.  Some of the topics included:

  • When will we see a new German government? Will Angela Merkel govern with a minority or the SPD? Who could the new Finance Minister? What’s the likelihood of new elections?
  • What impact does the uncertainty have on Eurozone reforms and Emanuel Macron’s vision for the EU?
  • What will be the impact on Brexit negotiations and transatlantic relations?
