Economists and investors have urged Germany to reform its state borrowing limits known as debt brake
BERLIN – The parties hoping to form Germany's next government on Tuesday agreed to create a 500 billion euro infrastructure fund and overhaul borrowing rules in a tectonic spending shift to revamp the military and revive growth in Europe's largest economy.
Economists and investors have urged Germany to reform its constitutionally enshrined state borrowing limits known as the "debt brake" in order to free up investment and support an economy that has contracted for the past two years. The euro rallied to a three-month high on the news, German government bond futures fell sharply, while stock futures rose. European defence company shares have soared in recent days as momentum to ramp up spending across the region gathers pace.
A commission of experts will separately develop a proposal for modernizing the debt brake to boost investments on a permanent basis.The conservatives and SPD are rushing to get the moves passed in the outgoing parliament, given far-right and far-left parties will have a blocking minority in the new parliament after scoring strongly in last month's election.
