Germany to finance Ukrainian production of long-range missiles
dpa Berlin Germany is to assist Ukraine in the production of long-range weapons, Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Wednesday, as he hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Berlin for the first time since taking office earlier this month. 'We want to enable long-range weapons. We also want to enable joint production,' Merz said at a press conference in the German capital, promising further support for Kiev as efforts to secure a ceasefire appear to flounder. Merz said the German and Ukrainian defence ministers were to sign a letter of intent on the 'procurement of long-range weapons systems from Ukrainian production.' The move represents 'the start of a new form of military-industrial co-operation' between Germany and Ukraine, 'which has great potential,' the chancellor said. Ukraine, which has been fighting off a full-scale Russian invasion for more than three years, is in need of missiles that can attack Russian airfields and supply lines deep inside Russian territory. The question of whether Ukraine's allies should supply Kiev with long-range arms has been highly controversial in recent years, with Merz's predecessor Olaf Scholz having consistently opposed deliveries of German-made Taurus cruise missiles amid warnings that the move would escalate tensions with Moscow. Ukraine is still hoping for the arms, Zelensky made clear during the press conference. 'Of course we need them, of course we will discuss this issue,' Zelensky said.

Germany earmarks $125 billion for 2025 to revive sluggish economy
Agencies The German government is earmarking some 110 billion euros ($125 billion) in public investments this year to revive the nation's sluggish economy, the country's new finance minister, Lars Klingbeil, said on Tuesday. 'We want there to be tangible changes for people who work hard and who rightly expect our country to function better,' said Klingbeil, who also serves as vice chancellor in Chancellor Friedrich Merz's new government. The Finance Ministry said investments are to increase by almost 50% in 2025, compared to the previous year, the report by the Deutsche Presse-Agentur (dpa) said. The investments are to come from Germany's core budget, as well as a 500-billion-euro package that was passed in March. 'At the same time, we will implement comprehensive structural reforms and continue to strictly consolidate the budget,' Klingbeil said in an emailed statement to Reuters. Germany's new coalition government plans a surge in public spending targeting defense and infrastructure, hoping to close gaps in long-neglected areas of investment while hauling the economy out of a two-year downturn. 'My top priority is to put Germany on a growth path now. This is how we boost the economy and secure jobs,' said landmark 500-billion-euro package was rushed through the German parliament following February's parliamentary elections by the incoming coalition partners – Merz's Christian Democrats (CDU), the Bavaria-only Christian Social Union (CSU) and Klingbeil's center-left Social Democratic Party (SPD). It allowed the new administration to circumvent strict rules on borrowing and deficit spending to invest in defense, infrastructure and climate protection measures. The package required votes from the Greens, who secured a promise for 100 billion euros of the pot to be transferred to the government's Climate and Transformation Fund, dedicated to climate spending. However, the Greens – now in the opposition – have warned that the government could use the special fund to plug budgetary holes and finance expensive giveaways promised during the election campaign. On Tuesday, Klingbeil announced comprehensive structural reforms to cut budgetary spending. The government is currently preparing a draft of the 2025 budget, which the cabinet is due to approve on June 25. The announcement by the finance minister comes as a new projection by the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DIHK) on Tuesday showed the German economy is expected to contract by 0.3% this year, shrinking for a third consecutive year. The risk of recession persists, the DIHK said, but following a promising first quarter, its projection was more optimistic than the previously forecast 0.5% contraction published in February. Economic growth in the first quarter was significantly stronger than expected due to export and industry frontloading ahead of U.S. tariffs. Germany had been expected to be badly affected by tariffs due to its export-oriented economy. The U.S. was Germany's biggest trading partner in 2024, with two-way goods trade totaling 253 billion euros. The DIHK forecasts German exports to decline by 2.5% in 2025, also contracting for a third consecutive year. A DIHK survey, conducted among 23,000 companies from all sectors and regions, showed that 29% of them see exports falling over the next 12 months, while only 19% expect exports to rise. The German economy continues to struggle with pessimistic business sentiment, standing at 94.9 in the latest survey. Values under 100 mean that there are more pessimists than optimists. 'Businesses are still waiting for signals of progress,' DIHK managing director Helena Melnikov said, calling for urgent political action.

Europe's defence firms struggle to find workers as business booms
Agencies Pavel Cechal believes that the Czech company he works for could easily generate more business for its missile and drone engines to double its workforce, if only he could find the staff. His dilemma is shared by many defense companies in Europe, where governments are ramping up spending on ammunition, tanks and other arms in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's warnings that they should not rely so much on Washington. Cechal is vice president of operations at PBS Group, whose production facility in Velka Bites, a two-hour drive from Prague, employs 800 people. He is looking for more. 'If they were available on the labor market, we would hire most of them immediately. We have the business for it,' he told Reuters, adding the firm had raised wages by 8% last year and plans another 10% hike in 2025 to attract talent. 'We are now hiring at all levels of the company.' While the bloc's 800 billion euro ($896 billion) defence spending push is expected to create hundreds of thousands of jobs over the next decade, the specially trained AI engineers, data scientists, welders and mechanics required are in short supply. Reuters spoke to more than a dozen companies, recruiters, and workers who said that, along with hiking wages and benefits, arms makers are poaching from other sectors and seeking potential recruits among local pupils and students. PBS Group has taken a step beyond cooperation with schools and universities. Milan Macholan, chief executive of the Velka Bites production facility, said: 'We also started our own training school where we generate our own employees.' Since Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, 78% of EU military procurement spending has gone outside the bloc, with the U.S. alone securing 63%, European Commission data show, partly because Europe's defense sector is fragmented between states. The EU plans to move a big chunk of that procurement to Europe and hopes its new Union of Skills training and hiring strategy will help fill the defence recruitment gap. In Russia, meanwhile, hiring by the well-funded arms sector is causing labour shortages elsewhere. Franco-German company KNDS, which manufactures the CAESAR self-propelled howitzer used in Ukraine, has expanded shifts at the company's main production site in Bourges in central France and is boosting hiring by 50% annually. Recruitment remains a key issue, said Nicolas Chamussy, managing director of KNDS France, adding that there was a limit to how much they could hike salaries. 'Don't forget that we're in a war economy, but we're also in an economic war. If our wages increase in an uncontrolled way, we'll be less competitive,' he said. AI experts who can develop autonomous weapons systems as well as people with expertise in products made in small volumes are in particular demand, industry participants said. 'We're not going to manufacture a CAESAR in the same way as a Peugeot 308. We have to master very, very specific know-how, which requires very particular skills. And those are rare on the job market,' said KNDS spokesperson Gabriel Massoni. A boost in defense spending to 3% of gross domestic product (GDP) from the current NATO target of 2% would require as many as 760,000 new skilled workers in Europe, management consultant firm Kearney said in a recent report. 'Defense policy independence in Europe would only be possible if the local share of defense spending were to increase dramatically, which in turn could further exacerbate personnel shortages,' Kearney partner Guido Hertel wrote in the report. Rheinmetall – Europe's largest ammunition maker – plans to increase its workforce by around 29%, or up to 9,000, by 2028, primarily with product developers, engineers, welders and electronics technicians, it told Reuters. Submarine and frigate builder Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems is seeking up to 1,500 workers for its shipyard in Wismar, northern Germany. It is scouring trade fairs but says shortages of STEM experts trained in mathematics, IT, or sciences are a challenge, a view shared by Leonardo in Italy. 'In the past, the fact that we offered secure, quality contracts was enough to guarantee our leadership, but today young people favor other sectors over industry,' said the aerospace and defense firm, which is looking to universities and technical schools. Godefroy Jordan, general manager at Headhunting Factory, a Paris-based recruiter, specializes in finding mechanics, systems engineers and technicians for some of France's 4,000 small and medium-sized defense industry suppliers. 'The people we're targeting are in jobs where they've never been headhunted, they don't even have a CV,' Jordan told Reuters. 'When we call them, they think it's a scam.' 'This isn't a problem of finances; it's a human resources problem because the skills aren't there,' he added. Emrullah Karaca, who has worked at the soon-to-be-closed Gifhorn plant of auto supplier Continental for 25 years, is pondering a switch to Rheinmetall, which operates a factory around 50 kilometers (30 miles) north. But the father of three, who has trained to become a machine operator specialized in plastics technology, was also considering other options without the three-hour commute. 'For 25 years I've had the luxury of ... getting to work within five minutes,' he said. Auto industry struggles have helped Czech ammunition and shell producer STV Group recruit some of the more than 200 people it aims to add to its Vysoke Myto facility, 155 kilometers (96 miles) from Prague, by the middle of next year, its chairperson, David Hac, said. 'With the situation in the automotive industry worsening, we are now, for the first time in a long time, in a situation where we can choose a little among the people.' Oliver Doerre, CEO of German sensor and radar maker Hensoldt, told Reuters the company welcomed former auto workers because they are used to just-in-time manufacturing. 'That's where we hope to gain expertise to support us on this path towards serial production, towards scaling up production,' he said.
