Deutsche Bank publishes new podcast episode on financing Europe’s defence push

Tune in to our third episode of This is Deutsche Bank, a podcast all about the news and trends shaping the world of banking and finance.

Defence is firmly back on Europe’s spending agenda. With the war in Ukraine still ongoing and geopolitical priorities shifting in the US, countries across the continent are rethinking how they protect their borders and looking to step up spending on their defence capabilities.

This comes after decades of underinvestment in the sector, not least by major economic powers like Germany. In this episode, Fabrizio Campelli, Head of our Corporate Bank and Investment Bank and Management Board member, explains what happens when governments decide to spend, and the role banks play in financing all this.

The world is changing at an ever-increasing pace. With the help of the bank’s leaders and experts, This is Deutsche Bank’s regular episodes look at what these changes mean for the banking industry through stories, ideas and developments from across the world.

This is Deutsche Bank is available on all major podcast platforms, such as Spotify or Apple Podcasts, and as a video podcast on YouTube.
