Niche and needed: German SMEs weather Trump tariffs with specialist tech
FRANKFURT, Aug 7 — While Germany's big companies groan under the US tariff burden, many small and midsize firms, the backbone of Europe's top economy, are confident their highly-specialised goods will just keep selling. The hope is that, in niche areas where American customers have no obvious alternatives, buyers across the Atlantic will just have to accept paying higher prices for their high-tech machines and products. 'The customer in America pays the tariff,' said Thorsten Bauer, co-head of laser maker Xiton Photonics, based in the western city of Kaiserslautern. 'We don't notice a thing.' Bauer's firm of about 20 workers is in this respect typical of the often family-owned enterprises that make up the German 'Mittelstand', Deutsche Bank executive Jan-Philipp Gillmann said. 'German Mittelstand companies are somewhat protected since they are often very specialised, sometimes the only firm that makes a particular part,' said Gillmann, Deutsche Bank's Head of Corporate Bank Europe. 'The cost of the tariff will often be borne by the consumer.' Under a framework deal agreed in late July, EU exports are set to face across-the-board US tariffs of 15 per cent from Thursday — higher than traditional duties but much lower than Trump's threatened 30 per cent. While German corporate titans such as automaker Volkswagen have grabbed headlines by taking tariff hits measured in the billions, many of the smaller firms hope to weather the headwinds. Brian Fuerderer, head and founder of Microqore Medical, a high-end surgical equipment maker with 32 employees, agreed. 'It's not possible to just copy 'Made in Germany,'' he said. 'There's not much comparable to what we in Germany do when it comes to medical technology.' He added that US tariffs would have to rise to 30 or even 40 per cent before American customers got cold feet. 'For Volkswagen, for big business, it's hard,' he said. 'But if you have a real niche, something only certain specialists can do, demand will carry on as before.' 'No legal certainty' The Mittelstand's rugged optimism defies Trump's repeated statements that foreign companies — not American importers or consumers — will pay the tariffs. That does not mean the levies — and the past months of uncertainty around them — have left the small and medium enterprises entirely unscathed. The United States is Germany's largest trading partner and Trump's on-again, off-again tariff blitz has already had an impact. 'When all the tariffs started, I made no US sales for three months,' Bauer said. 'You don't spend money if you don't know how things will look in the next six months.' He hopes the latest agreement fixing duties at 15 per cent, up from a provisional 10 per cent in the lead-up to an August 1 deadline, will at least give American companies the confidence to place orders again. But he is not entirely sure, pointing to Trump's highly changeable tariff policies. 'There's no legal certainty, basically,' Bauer said. 'I am trying to push up sales in Europe with discounts and things like that, to be less dependent on the international market.' 'Regulating ourselves to death' About a quarter of Xiton Photonic's sales are exports to the United States and it would be hard to diversify, Bauer said, since his high-tech customers are more often found in Japan, China or America than in Europe. Wider geopolitical tensions mean there is no easy answer. 'China could equally turn around tomorrow and say: 'We are not importing anything from the EU,'' said Bauer. 'In that case I'd be just another leaf blown about by the wind.' Fuerderer, whose company makes half its sales in the United States, said that relocating production there could make sense for some firms in the sector over the long term, particularly given high energy costs and burdensome bureaucracy at home. 'The US government wants companies to manufacture in the United States and they have tax breaks, grants and subsidies to make it happen,' he said. In Europe, by contrast, Fuerderer said 'we are regulating ourselves to death. People are afraid to put money on the table and try something new.' — AFP

UK watchdog bans Zara ads over ‘unhealthily thin' models
Zara said the ads were removed after it was made aware of the complaint. (EPA Images pic) LONDON : Britain's advertising regulator today banned two adverts by Spanish clothing group Zara for featuring models that appeared 'unhealthily thin', calling the images 'irresponsible'. The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said it took action after it received a complaint about the ads, which were listed on Zara's website in May. One image showed a model with 'protruding' collarbones, with her pose and styling making her appear 'very slim'. Another featured a model who looked 'slightly gaunt' owing to a slicked-back hairstyle and that the lighting and clothing made her appear 'noticeably thin', the ASA said. The watchdog ruled the ads breached social responsibility rules and must not appear again in the same form. Zara told the ASA that the models were medically certified as healthy, in line with British guidelines. It also assured that only minor lighting and colouring edits were made on the images. The ads were removed after the ASA made the company aware of the complaint, Zara said in a statement. It added that Zara 'follow stringent guidelines and controls in the selection and photographing of models'. Earlier this year, the ASA banned similar ads from British retailers Next and Marks & Spencer.

Sterling rises before BoE meet as dollar weakens
The pound was up 0.18% versus the dollar at US$1.3380, its highest since July 30. (Reuters pic) LONDON : Sterling rose against a weakening US dollar today with the markets watching whether the Bank of England (BoE) will maintain its 'gradual and careful' language on the pace of policy easing at its meeting due later in the day. That slow and steady path no longer looks so clear, with inflation above the BoE's projections and forecast by some economists to reach 4%, double the bank's target, in the coming months. Markets expect a 25-basis point rate cut, while pricing a total of 86 bps of rate cuts by December 2026. 'Recent monetary policy committee (MPC)-speak has leaned dovish, although it has been light,' said Jamie Searle, rate strategist at Citi. 'The tail risk is that this MPC has shown in recent years that it isn't afraid to surprise,' Searle said. The pound was up 0.18% versus the dollar at US$1.3380, its highest since July 30. 'Our view remains that the UK economy is likely to grow around 1-1.2% for the next three years, versus office for budget responsibility (OBR) forecasts of 1.7-1.9%,' said Mohit Kumar, economist at Jefferies. 'Lower growth implies that the BoE would need to do more than currently priced in (in terms of rate cuts), and the fiscal picture is worse than (what) the current official estimates show,' he said. Finance minister Rachel Reeves is expected to raise taxes again in a budget statement towards the end of 2025 in order to meet her own targets for fixing the public finances. A survey showed yesterday that activity in Britain's construction sector fell by the most in more than five years. The single currency rose 0.15% at 87.42 pence per euro, its highest since July 28. It hit last week 87.69, its highest level since May 2023 as the European Central Bank is almost done with its monetary easing cycle. The euro hit a fresh 1-1/2-week high against a weakening dollar today as investors monitored Ukraine peace talks. 'While we are bracing for a 7-2 split vote, we would not be overly surprised if (Swati) Dhingra and/or (Alan) Taylor voted for a 50-bp cut, as they did in May,' said Matthew Ryan, head of market strategy at global financial services firm Ebury, adding that such a move would likely trigger a sell-off in the pound.
