In Germany, concern is growing over a decline in investment and the nation’s own spending, particularly on infrastructure. Critics worry the budget defector may rise above 2 percent, which could trigger debt-reduction measures. However, Finance Minister Christian Lindner asserts that short-term measures are needed to prevent fundamental economic damage. The European Commission suggests increasing investment through subsidies, but potential conflicts with the EU’s free-market principles are raised. A major factor contributing to this situation is a protracted conflict in the energy sector, which has led to a significant increase in energy costs. As a result, borrowing costs in Germany are higher than anticipated and government spending is focusing on financial measures rather than infrastructure investments.
