Scholz pledges more help for Germans to fight inflation
German Chancellor planned to reinstate debt brake in 2023
11 August, 14:18Scholz also said he planned to stick by plans to reinstate Germany's so-called debt brake in 2023 after it was suspended for three years to cope with the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. "We assume that we will be able to manage our vision within the financial framework that has been available to us so far," Scholz said. Germany's debt brake is a rule enshrined in the constitution that limits the country's public deficit to 0.35 percent of GDP. (ANSA-AFP).
