and here are today's top stories.

Today is April 24th 2026.

Germany’s economy is under renewed pressure. Ageing demographics, a
shrinking labour force and rising pension costs are once again
pushing the reform debate into the business spotlight. Economists
warn that without stronger employment incentives and more flexible
labour rules, growth could remain weak for years.

The automotive sector is facing another turning point in China.
Volkswagen is lowering expectations for deliveries and margins,
while Mercedes-Benz is trying to defend its position in a market
shaped by aggressive price competition. At the same time, suppliers
such as Bosch, ZF and Mahle are seeing technology trends
increasingly set by Chinese manufacturers.

In financial markets, investors are watching several signals.
Bitcoin has remained surprisingly stable despite geopolitical
tension, while Deutsche Telekom is under pressure as markets assess
the potential and risks of deeper consolidation with T-Mobile US.
Electrovac, meanwhile, is preparing for a stock market debut.

Technology is also in focus. SAP is tightening access to its
business data for external AI providers, a move that has angered
some customers. And Starlink’s rapid satellite losses are raising
questions about the cost of growth in space.

Other business headlines include the slow rollout of Wero,
restructuring at Ritter Sport, fresh support needs for Bankhaus
RSA, and RTL’s approved takeover of Sky. The overall picture is
clear: companies are adapting, but uncertainty remains high.

That's today's business update. Thanks for tuning in to Business
Insights. See you next time!
