German Election & Debt Break

  • In the German election, no major party campaigned on reducing public spending.
  • Friedrich Merz, expected to be the next Chancellor, has three coalition options, and a grand coalition with the Social Democratic Party is anticipated, though he might collaborate with AfD on specific issues.
  • Current discussions revolve around potentially annulling the "debt break" (Schuldenbremse).

  • This potential removal of the debt break is significant news for Germany's fiscal future.
