Bundestag votes on budget for 2024. Discussions are already underway for the 2025 budget - and they are unlikely to be easy either.

There is once again a gap in the core budget alone in the double-digit billion range. The 2024 budget plans to spend 476.8 billion euros - and initially new loans of around 39 billion euros. If it stays that way, the debt brake would be adhered to for the first time since the outbreak of the corona pandemic.
