Leverkusen sign Brentford goalie Flekken
German media reported Leverkusen paid 10 million euros (£8.45 million, $11.5 million) to secure the 31-year-old's services.
Flekken, who signed a deal running to 2028, will likely take over from current Leverkusen goalie Lukas Hradecky, who captained the side to their historic unbeaten league and cup double in 2023-24.
In a statement, Flekken said he was taking "another special step in my career", adding that Leverkusen are "a top German club with high national and European goals".
Leverkusen are expected to undergo a rebuild this off-season, with former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag having already replaced the Real Madrid-bound Xabi Alonso as coach.
Centre-back Jonathan Tah signed on a free transfer with German champions Bayern Munich, while midfielder Florian Wirtz is in talks to join wing-back Jeremie Frimpong in moving to Premier League winners Liverpool.
The Dutch 'keeper has Bundesliga experience, having spent five years at Freiburg before making the switch to Brentford in 2023.

UK retail spend by tourists to remain subdued
We've heard a lot about how tourist spending remains subdued in the UK following the withdrawal of the VAT-free perk post- Brexit, but that muted spending isn't about to change any time soon it seems. A new study shows that inflation and the strong pound will also dampen down tourist spending growth in Britain up to 2030. A study by the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR), initially reported by The Times, showed that real spending per tourist will lag behind the overall expected growth rate of Britain's economy over the next half-decade. It seems that while tourist numbers remain strong, the amount they're spending isn't that impressive. The report said the weak growth will be just half of the growth in the wider economy. It comes as the UK's inflation continues to be higher than that of other major tourists destinations such as the EU, the US and China. Even as inflation drops from its highs of a few years ago, overall prices in the UK have risen by 26.6% in the past six years. That means prices of the products tourists might buy, as well as other spending areas such as accommodation, dining and travel are proportionately higher than in those other destinations. And that's without taking the impact of the strong pound into account, which means tourists get fewer pounds for their dollars, euros, yen or renminbi. But of course, the ending of the 20% VAT refund perk for tourists is the big factor deterring high-spending visitors. That perk stopped in January 2021 with numerous reports showing that London's key shopping districts, in particular, have suffered as tourists have gone to other shopping cities such as Paris and Milan. The CEBR also said new electronic travel authorisations (ETAs) for European visitors and the air passenger duty rise has added both cost and complexity to visiting the UK. Based on figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and tourism board VisitBritain, it added that 'tourists are expected to spend less per visit in real terms in 2025 than in any other year over the past decade, with the exception of 2020'. As for that projection that tourist spend will lag the growth of the UK's economy, the report said VisitBritain believes there will be 43.4 million tourists visiting Britain this year. They're expected to spend £33.7 billion in 2025. By 2030, the government wants to increase international visitors to the UK to 50 million. But the CEBR said that 'current spending patterns suggest that meeting this ambitious target would result in only a 6.5% increase in real-terms expenditure compared with pre-pandemic levels'. It added that if real spending per visitor rose back to its 2019 level, tourist spend would be up a healthy 22.4%. The point about all this is that higher volumes of tourists aren't enough, it's boosting 'the value of each visit [that's] key to unlocking tourism's full economic potential'.

Marking a Decade of Development: What Next for the AIIB at 10?
The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) celebrates its 10th birthday this week. Established to boost development across Asia, the Bank has financed more than 300 projects in 38 countries over the past decade, investing over $60 billion. We take a look at what the world's second-largest multilateral lender has achieved, what lies ahead, and what to expect as the bank meets in Beijing. A Decade of Impact Since launching operations in 2016, the AIIB has grown to 110 members, including major European economies such as France, Germany, Italy and the UK. Together, its members represent four out of five people on the planet and nearly two-thirds of global GDP. From clean energy and transport to healthcare and disaster resilience, AIIB-backed projects have contributed to: 28.5 million tonnes of carbon emissions being avoided each year. The installation of 21.3 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity. Nearly 1 billion people gaining - or set to gain - access to urban mass transport via roads, rail, or metro. Bridging the Infrastructure Gap The global infrastructure shortfall remains vast. From roads and rail to broadband and energy, the AIIB estimates Asia alone needs around $3 trillion a year to meet rising demand. Financing the infrastructure of tomorrow is central to the AIIB's mission: 'We believe it is the foundation upon which societies build sustained and inclusive prosperity, including for women and girls. Development finance is vital to solving the huge gap in infrastructure development that is holding back equitable growth and keeping people in poverty.' Despite a backdrop of rising geopolitical uncertainty, this year's meeting is themed 'Connecting for Development, Collaborating for Prosperity' - a message which underlines the bank's belief that multilateralism and international cooperation are essential to meeting the world's infrastructure needs. Getting Green Growth Financing sustainable infrastructure projects and helping developing nations meet their climate goals is a major priority for the bank. In 2024, 67% of AIIB financing was climate-related, up from 60% in 2023. This year's annual gathering is likely to see further support for clean energy projects, water security, and greener urban transport to make growth more sustainable and inclusive. A New President for AIIB Another key item on this year's agenda will be the election of the bank's new president - only the second in its history. The AIIB's incoming leader will succeed President Jin Liqun, whose second term ends in January 2026. 'The bank's next President will inherit a strong foundation: a clear mission, robust governance, a committed team and a growing track record of impact,' the Bank said. 'We're confident that AIIB's next chapter will be marked by the same values that brought us here - professionalism, multilateralism, innovation and a focus on delivering real results for our members.' A meeting that matters And finally, whether you live in Europe, Asia or beyond, infrastructure shapes how we travel, access energy, and respond to climate change. That's why the choices made in Beijing this week will play a crucial role in how large numbers of people power their homes, move around their cities, and adapt to our warming planet in the years ahead.

Eurozone business activity stalls in June: Will the ECB cut again?
Private sector activity across the eurozone showed little sign of progress in June, with the latest Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) data highlighting stagnation in both services and manufacturing, casting a shadow over the region's economic recovery. The flash eurozone Composite PMI for June remained at 50.2 points, unchanged from May and narrowly above the 50-point threshold that separates expansion from contraction. The figure came in slightly below market expectations of 50.5. The services PMI edged up as expected to 50 from 49.7, while the manufacturing PMI was unchanged at 49.4, missing forecasts of a rise to 49.8. Weak momentum despite easing financial conditions 'The eurozone economy is struggling to gain momentum,' said Dr. Cyrus de la Rubia, Chief Economist at Hamburg Commercial Bank. 'For six months now, growth has been minimal, with activity in the service sector stagnating and manufacturing output rising only moderately.' The subdued business activity persists despite a more accommodative monetary stance by the European Central Bank (ECB), which has again reduced its deposit facility rate by 25 basis points to 2.00%. Regional disparities widen: Germany recovers, France falters Regional disparities are becoming more pronounced. Germany, the bloc's largest economy, posted a marginal return to growth. The flash composite PMI rose to 50.4 in June from 48.5 in May, buoyed by demand in the manufacturing sector, which saw the fastest rise in new orders in over three years. 'There is a decent chance Germany could finally break out of the frustrating stop-start growth pattern it's been stuck in for the past two years,' said de la Rubia, citing the positive trend in output and support from expansionary fiscal policies. The German services PMI rose to 49.4 in June 2025 from 47.1 in May, surpassing market expectations of 47.5. The data signalled only a slight decline in activity, marking the mildest contraction since the current three-month downturn began. Conversely, France continued its downward trajectory. The composite PMI dropped to 48.5 in June from 49.3 in May, marking the tenth consecutive monthly decline. Both manufacturing and services contracted, with firms citing subdued domestic demand, intensifying international competition, and uncertainty surrounding global trade. Overall sales fell for the thirteenth consecutive month in June, with the pace of decline quickening slightly from May. The sharper downturn was driven by the steepest drop in factory orders since February. "The outlook is certainly clouded,' said Jonas Feldhusen, Junior Economist at HCOB. "The question arises whether the decline in manufacturing output this month represents a mere temporary dip or already marks the end of the upward trend," he added. Will the ECB move again in July? The latest PMI figures present a mixed picture for the ECB. While inflationary pressures in the goods sector continue to ease, persistent cost increases in services and renewed geopolitical tensions may discourage further monetary easing in the near term. Markets widely expect the ECB to hold its benchmark interest rate steady at 2% during its next policy meeting on 23-24 July. However, the broader economic landscape remains volatile as US strikes in Iran over the weekend have heightened fears of a protracted conflict in the Middle East. The unrest has the potential to trigger a renewed surge in oil prices — especially as nearly 20% of global crude shipments pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Adding to the uncertainty, the 90-day reciprocal tariff truce initiated by former US President Donald Trump is set to expire on 9 July. With negotiations still ongoing, time is running out for Europe to secure a trade agreement and avoid another disruptive wave of transatlantic tariffs.
