Germany’s planned reform of its constitutional 'debt brake,' which limits federal structural borrowing to 0.35% of GDP, will not occur during the current legislative term. The expert commission tasked with developing a reform proposal has failed to reach consensus, with members now meeting only formally ahead of a final session in May. Following this, the commission is expected to issue a non-binding set of ideas rather than a comprehensive reform plan.
A planned reform of Germany's cap on public borrowing will not take place during the government's current legislative term, as the responsible commission has failed to find common ground. A final meeting is planned for May, after which a non-binding proposal is expected.
