Wirtschaftswise considers a return to the debt brake in 2023 unlikely

Monika Schnitzer assumes another exceptional situation for the federal budget

Osnabrück. Monika Schnitzer, a “wise businessman,” sees the return of the debt brake in 2023 announced by Federal Finance Minister Christian Lindner (FDP) as unlikely. “It is good and true that we have the debt brakes on. But I would be very surprised if we could stick to them again next year given the depth of the current crisis and the enormity of the challenges. I think it is likely to be 2023,” said Schnitzer of the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung (NOZ) newspaper. ): Once again, there is an exceptional situation and the federal government has to take on more debt. “Huge investments must be made to transform the economy, digitization and infrastructure.” Schnitzer demanded at NOZ: “The money must now be invested as productively as possible to get out of the crisis and grow well.” “.
