Federal and state governments did not make a fundamental decision on permanently higher federal funds for the accommodation and care of those seeking protection. The federal government will increase the refugee allowance to the states by one billion euros for 2023.

The states have not yet received an answer to the central question of a permanently higher participation of the federal government. A decision on this should be made at a meeting next November, a joint decision goes on to say that a working group will prepare this decision. In the first four months of this year, the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees received 101,981 first-time asylum applications.
