Forum Bundesbank: Schuldenbremse

Debt brake: current challenges and reform discussion

With its ruling, the Federal Constitutional Court has once again strengthened the debt brake for the federal and state governments and made it more binding. Will this force the state to pursue an overly restrictive budget policy?
policy? What is the Bundesbank's position on the debt brake reform debate?

Our speaker, Dr. Jürgen Hamker, Central Economics Division of the Deutsche Bundesbank, looks at the federal finances in the current and coming year as well as the medium-term challenges. He will also take a look at the budget plans for the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
