Laut KfW-Internationalisierungsbericht planen fast ein Drittel der deutschen Industrie-Mittelständler, ihre Produktion in den nächsten fünf Jahren ins Ausland zu verlagern, getrieben durch China-Konkurrenz und US-Zölle, während die Auslandsumsätze seit 2022 stagnieren.

Verdi offers concessions in the wage dispute at casinos in Baden-Württemberg

The Verdi union has signaled its willingness to make concessions in the collective bargaining dispute with the Baden-Württemberg casinos and is proposing immediate payment of salary increases and the involvement of the holding company in the negotiations. The collective bargaining commission has approved a monthly special payment of 230 euros retroactively from January 2026, but requires the binding involvement of supervisory board representatives. The employer does not see the special payments as part of the 2026 salary negotiations and is instead offering a salary increase of 230 euros per month until a new collective agreement is concluded. The first warning strike in the history of casinos took place in June.

Successor at the ECB: Isabel Schnabel applies for IMF position

Isabel Schnabel, member of the ECB Executive Board, has applied to head the markets department at the International Monetary Fund (IMF). This comes in the context of the impending successor to ECB President Christine Lagarde, whose resignation is speculated to take place in 2025. Other candidates such as Pablo Hernández de Cos, Klaas Knot and Joachim Nagel are also mentioned. Schnabel's application could indicate that she is not being considered as Lagarde's successor, while experts speculate about the ECB's future monetary policy direction.
