• Building Germany’s defense capability and how this spending decision fits into the broader EU growth story.

• Fiscal dominance and debt deleveraging, including the challenges of growing while managing debt, and the risks of default.

• The private sector’s role in Germany’s pivot.

• Implications of a downturn on investments.

• Central bank reactions to inflation across the UK, Japan, and the ECB.
