Top Business People Support a Merkel Win in Germany

Top business people around the world hope that German Chancellor Angela Merkel will retain her grip on power, believing her re-election would strengthen the euro zone’s economic prospects.

Of more than 1,500 business people polled in the FT/Economist Global Business Barometer quarterly survey, more than 60 percent said Ms Merkel’s re-election would make them more confident about Europe’s economic prospects. Only 16 percent said it would make them less confident, with the rest saying they did not know.
