German economists have warned of the threat of a budget crisis in the country.
The government should clearly define priorities when formulating a financial plan for 2028.
"With the current fiscal policy, it will not be possible to survive in the long term," said Clemens Post, head of the Institute for Economic Research in Munich, in a commentary for the Olam newspaper on Sunday.
According to him, the authorities must freeze or reduce expenses, otherwise there will be an inevitable increase in the tax burden on German citizens.
The head of Germany's Federal Audit Office, Ansager Hepling, called on the government to take a tougher course of austerity. He emphasized that every third euro that the country spends is financed through loans.
