Coordinated Covid Response within the EU

The Franco-German Council of Economic Experts recommends a coordinated response to the COVID crisis at European level. France and Germany should make a stand for this, says Clemens Fuest, President of the ifo Institute.

Pandemic-Related New Debt in the Federal States

In order to cushion the economic consequences of the coronavirus pandemic, all federal states have announced massive public aid for affected companies. This will require all of them to increase their net borrowing, in some cases substantially. Since the coronavirus crisis is an exceptional emergency situation that is beyond the control of the state and has a considerable impact on the state’s financial situation, this new debt is also covered by the debt brake rule that has been in force since January 1, 2020 (Article 109 (3) of the Basic Law).

Emergency Aid Measures for Companies in the Coronavirus Crisis

The current coronavirus pandemic will hit the economy hard: current scenarios and forecasts predict a deep recession, the consequences of which will be all the more serious the longer the restrictions imposed on public life continue. Added to this is the collapse of global supply chains, which is hitting Germany particularly hard due to its high degree of involvement in the international division of labor. Against this backdrop, the country’s federal and state governments have decided on numerous aid measures for companies that have now found themselves in an emergency situation through no fault of their own.
