Qatar deputy PM eyes investment in Europe, Germany

Qatar, which already holds stakes in German carmakers Porsche and Volkswagen, is eyeing further investments in Europe, Qatar's deputy prime minister told a German newspaper."In Europe and especially in Germany there is still a range of interesting companies we will look at," Handelsblatt quoted Abdullah bin Hamad al-Attiyah as saying.

Germany, Europe's biggest economy, seemed to have opened up again for foreign investment, having taken a more critical view of the influence of foreign sovereign wealth funds during the grand coalition, he said."And that is very good. It helps the German economy," he was quoted as saying.
