Economy Minister Katherina Reiche warned the far‑right Alternative for Germany (AfD)'s rising support could deter potential investors, saying the party's platform appears anti–market and lacks a coherent economic policy. Germany is seeking to attract at least €3.75 trillion in private capital by 2040 and will hold its first investment summit in Berlin in October. Recent polls show the AfD may win an absolute majority in the September state election in Saxony‑Anhalt. The head of the Federation of German Industries said AfD participation in state government would be disastrous, creating uncertainty and weakening Germany's appeal as an investment destination.
