Reuters reveals in Germany’s banking industry, minuscule gains for female leadership

Reuters revealed that banks in Germany made only marginal gains in increasing female representation in management last year, with women accounting for just 34.8% of leadership positions, figures from employment lobby AGV Banken show. The problem underscores challenges for board rooms in many business sectors across Germany. For the finance industry in particular, it is not a good look as it seeks to win business from London in the wake of Brexit, and calls for action from politicians and investors are growing louder.
