Germany moved to the opening of hundreds of billions of euros in the defense and infrastructure -funded infrastructure, and the final legislative minds agreed on Friday when legislators in the Alawite Parliament in Berlin agreed to measures.
Conservatives from the governor of Freders Mirz, the democratic, socialist and vegetable governors, were shocked by the unprecedented investment package through the House of Representatives.TuesdayTogether, it controls enough voices in the Bonaren, where the 16 federal state is represented in Germany, to ensure its support there as well.

Investors were closely monitoring the passage of measures, which end decades of German austerity and enter into a new period of spending on the deficit designed to enhance the largest economy in Europe and modernize the loud infrastructure.
The armed forces are also a focus, as Mirz and social democrats – his potential partners in the next government – are committed to huge military accumulation after years of neglect, in addition to continued support for Ukraine.

Mirz and SPD were forced to act after President Donald Trump retreated from the United States’ obligations to European security, as they put the increasing threat to the region from Russia President Vladimir Putin.
Meanwhile, Germany’s economy was stolen for two years and Mirz pledged to address structural problems, including high energy costs and interlocking bureaucracy.
The market’s reaction was generally positively to the financial transformation, which Bloomberg economists say should help enhance growth in the euro area.
“If you look at Germany from abroad, what we hear in Europe and from countries outside Europe is a very positive assessment of what we have agreed to,” Mirz said earlier Friday at the FAZ Newspaper Forum in Berlin.
Package of spending in Germany:
- Defense spending will be launched with more than 1 % of GDP from constitutional borrowing restrictions
- The outside budget infrastructure fund will be enabled by borrowing up to 500 billion euros ($ 542 billion) over the past 12 years.
- From this amount, 100 billion euros will be transferred to the climate and transition fund, and the states will receive 100 billion euros for regional projects
- 16 states in Germany will be prepared to borrow up to 0.35 % of GDP, or about 16 billion euros, instead of having to operate balanced budgets
After the spending bill has passed, attention turns into coalition talks. Mirz governors and social democrats aim to agree by Easter at the latest, despite the presence of grumbling in recent days that negotiations can continue for a longer period.
The coalition deal would pave the way for MERZ to secure Bundestag’s approval to take over the position of Chaolz, who has been running the government on accreditation energy since the victory of the CDU/CSU elections in February.
“The next German government should return the economy to the path of growth – this also requires unimaginable decisions,” said Tanga Junner, President of the BDI, on Thursday.
She added: “There should be no way to overcome bold structural reforms, the effective use of budget boxes and clear priorities for investments.”
