Episode notes

Germany has a shortage of skilled workers, says Guy Chazan. The government is introducing reforms to make it easier for people to work in Germany. There are fears that immigration could lead to social or political conflict. But the FT's Berlin bureau chief argues that Germans have become more open to foreigners.

Chinese initial public offerings have raised more than five times as much money as those in the US this year, and Germany’s lawmakers are set to pass immigration reforms to address a worsening skills shortage. Plus, the FT’s Brooke Masters unpacks the deal for First Republic and what’s in it for JPMorgan.
