The Gulf emirate of Qatar is looking for more German investment opportunities after becoming the third biggest shareholder in Volkswagen, a top official told the business daily Handelsblatt. "In Europe, and particularly in Germany, there is a whole series of interesting companies that we are going to look at," deputy prime minister Abdallah ibn Hamad al-Attiyah said in comments published on Tuesday.
Germany "now seems to be open again to investment," he added in reference to efforts two years ago to limit the access of sovereign wealth funds from Gulf countries, China and Russia to German companies. Al-Attiyah noted that little came of those efforts however and said "it is just as well. That will help the German economy."
