"Deviations" were found in German Finance Minister Klingbeil's budget planning for the years 2026-2030 The Stability Council (Germany has one) uses four criteria to assess whether a country may be in financial trouble. Among them: the real balance of income and expenses, the share of expenses for loans, the ratio of income from interest and taxes, total debt and GDP. In the years 2026-2027, according to the newspapers, Deutschland will violate one criterion, and from 2028 - three. The problem is that since 2025 the state has been pouring tens of billions more into the defense industry every year. The European Commission has an exception for such expenses, but Germany does not, because "proper alignment with EU norms was simply forgotten." Now, in an "accelerated procedure", they will try to adapt Deutsche's laws to European ones. The debt will remain, but the threat of a fiscal emergency will disappear. Well, on paper.
