Germans think global for their investments

Article Abstract:

A study conducted by Hamburg's HWWA economics research institute shows that German entrepreneurs are focussing on an integrated Asia-Pacific market rather than on individual markets. Prospective investors will need to make direct investments to gaining entry into or consolidate their positions in the highly competitive market. Involvement of German entrepreneurs in industrial re-development of Germany and preparation for the European Commission (EC) deadline of 1993, have however, left them with insufficient surplus resources for foreign investment.

A North Sea way to the silk road

Article Abstract:

Hamburg, Germany's largest seaport, has become the gateway for Asian goods which are headed for central and northern Europe. The facts that it is easily approachable from both the Baltic and the North Sea and that it is a European Community (EC) base account for it's popularity with Asian shippers. Numerous Asian enterprises have set up distribution facilities around the port since demand for Asian consumer goods has burgeoned after the re-unification of Germany and the opening up of the east European economy.

Building an empire

Article Abstract:

Germany's Dresdner Bank AG has ambitious plans for its Asia operations following their consolidation this year into a Singapore-based division. Many of Germany's banks are active in East Asia, having discovered the indigenous market since coming over to support their European customers, but Rolf Willi, head of Dresdner's Far Eastern division, hopes to supply 10% of Dresdner's earnings within three years. He expects Singapore to supplant Tokyo as the world's third-largest foreign exchange center.
