Germany's finance ministry is pushing forward with its 2025 and 2026 budget plans, focusing on fiscal savings while addressing security and economic challenges, according to a recent government document.
Germany's new finance minister Lars Klingbeil has initiated preparations for the 2025 and 2026 budgets, emphasizing cost-cutting across ministries despite recent fiscal flexibility created by a €500 billion infrastructure fund and defense spending exemptions.
The finance ministry document outlines three priorities: modernizing infrastructure, implementing structural reforms to enhance competitiveness, and consolidating the budget. Finance ministry state secretary Steffen Meyer emphasized the urgency of addressing security threats, and revitalizing Europe's largest economy.
The 2025 draft budget is set for cabinet approval on June 25, with parliamentary discussions in July and final approval by September. Similarly, the 2026 budget will follow the standard approval timeline, with final adoption in December.
