Germany Secures €1 Trillion
Germany is receiving nearly €1 trillion ($1.1 trillion) in additional funding at virtually no cost, thanks to a strong market response to its major new spending bill, according to Deutsche Bank Chairman Alexander Wynaendts. Speaking at a panel hosted by the Institute of International Finance, he said Germany must now invest wisely and implement structural reforms to make the most of this opportunity.
The country recently approved massive debt-financed spending for defense and infrastructure, ending years of austerity in an effort to revitalize its economy and respond to declining U.S. security commitments under Trump. The markets welcomed the shift, which Bloomberg economists say could boost growth across Europe. Wynaendts acknowledged the risks of inefficient spending after years of underinvestment but stressed that inaction isn’t an option. He called for tax, labor, and regulatory reforms to ensure the stimulus has lasting impact, warning, “We don’t have the time to squander this.”

Tesla Faces Humanoid Robot Challenge
American tech giants like Tesla and Nvidia are racing to lead the humanoid robot revolution, but analysts warn they risk falling behind China. Humanoid robots—AI-powered machines built to mimic human movement—are expected to play key roles in manufacturing and service jobs. Investor enthusiasm has surged, especially after Nvidia’s Jensen Huang declared the dawn of “generalist robotics.”
Tesla’s Optimus project leads U.S. efforts, aiming to produce 5,000 units in 2025. But China’s robotics firms like Unitree and Agibot are scaling quickly, matching production targets and offering robots at lower prices, thanks to manufacturing advantages and government support. Unitree’s $16,000 G1 robot already hit the consumer market, far undercutting Tesla’s projected $20,000 price. China dominates patents and controls 70% of the supply chain. Experts say humanoids could reshape the labor force and caution that the U.S. must act fast to catch up—reshoring or “friendshoring” may be key to staying competitive in this critical sector.
