Алекс Боди и ръководителят на BlackRock Лари Финк в Берлин: инвестиции в Германия и Румъния?

Румънският предприемач напоследък е чест гост в германската столица Берлин, където пристигна на 20 октомври 2026 г. от Мадрид през Флоренция. Затова не беше случайно, че малко след 9:20 ч., точно навреме, Боди стоеше до частния самолет Embraer Phenom 300E с регистрационен знак CS-PHW, откъдето беше взет с Maybach, за да се отправи бързо към бившата сграда на Държавния съвет като участник в икономическата среща на върха „Invest in Germany Summit“.

Alex Bodi és Larry Fink, a BlackRock vezetője Berlinben: befektetések Németországban és Romániában?

A román vállalkozó mostanában rendszeres vendég Németország fővárosában, Berlinben, ahová 2026. október 20-án Madridból, Firenze érintésével érkezett. Így korántsem volt véletlen, hogy Bodi a tervezett időben, nem sokkal 9 óra 20 perc után már a CS-PHW lajstromjelű Embraer Phenom 300E magánrepülőgép mellett állt. Egy Maybach érkezett érte, hogy az „Invest in Germany Summit” gazdasági csúcstalálkozó résztvevőjeként az egykori Államtanács épületébe siethessen.
