Executive Summary
Germany's traditional economic model, reliant on cheap Russian energy, US security, and China as an export market, is broken and requires significant re-engineering amidst new geopolitical and competitive realities.
Europe's economic competitiveness is severely hampered by structural issues, including market fragmentation, a lack of scale in key sectors like banking and telecom, and internal regulatory friction that stifles growth.
The European banking sector remains structurally disadvantaged compared to its US counterparts due to a slower post-2008 recovery, stricter regulation, and the political inability to form a true banking union that would allow for cross-border consolidation.
Significant political and cultural reforms are needed, including changes to the EU's unanimity-based governance model and a societal shift towards working longer and harder, but there is little political will for such changes, with progress on key reports rated 'one out of 10'.
