Deutsche Bank analysts Marion Muehlberger and Ursula Walther say firms view Germany’s recent reform package, outlined last week, as a positive step though many want further measures. The package includes tax and pension changes, cuts to administrative approvals and more flexible labour rules. Analysts say the measures could boost business confidence and improve Germany’s competitiveness. Business groups flagged missing reforms on wage costs and social‑security contributions, corporate taxation and broader working‑time flexibility. The analysts said implementation capacity will be critical and that rapid implementation in the autumn is key.

Peking University's Institute of Urban Soft Power and Zhaopin released the 2025 China New-Quality Talent Competitiveness Index on July 8. Beijing, Shenzhen and Shanghai remain the top three, forming the first-tier cluster for new-quality talent development. New first-tier cities account for 36.83% of recruitment demand for new-quality talent, the highest share across city tiers and the main source of incremental talent inflows. Employment preferences of 16–34-year-old new-quality talent are shifting from first-tier cities toward Chengdu, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Nanjing and other new-first-tier or industry-specialized cities; the pace of talent attraction in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen has moderated.
