German lawmakers passed a delayed 2025 budget that permits additional borrowing to address infrastructure repairs and strengthen the armed forces. The 2025 budget totals €502.5 billion, about €25 billion more than 2024, with new borrowing forecast at €81.8 billion. The budget process stalled after the previous coalition collapsed over public spending, and the government had been operating under emergency measures that limited new commitments. Chancellor Friedrich Merz prioritized increased military and infrastructure investment following February elections. Passage of the budget enables the coalition to begin larger spending programs intended to support growth and secure jobs amid a prolonged economic downturn.
