Berlin: Germany saw a massive increase in borrowing the last Green Light on Friday, which was seen as promoting the country’s anemia economy and the sick corporate sector – but not just in the short term.

Several bureaucratic procedures needed to initiate labor shortage and spending projects and tendering process will delay a positive rape effect for both companies and the economy, which has contracted for two straight years.

Although no one claims that the method of allocating large amounts of public money should not be severely reduced, German business leaders say the process will take time.

The financial project includes a special fund of 500 billion euros ($ 545 billion) for infrastructure and plans to remove defense investment from borrowing rules on a large scale.

The head of the DMB Association, Mark Tanbig – who represents thousands of ‘mittel stands’ small and medium -sized firms that strengthen the domestic economy – says red tape, complex European tendering requirements and obstacles to personnel often do not mean effectively.

He said, “It will not be enough to pump more money in infrastructure projects. Financial markets have welcomed historical reforms, and this week has sent Germany’s Blue Chip Dex 30 to record height, which will benefit the most in the construction and defense sectors.

Berlin projects have also raised a rally in the Euro and Eurozone production, in which Germany’s 10 -year production reached 2.938 % last week, the highest since October 2023. Still, economists say that the financial extension, which was formally approved by the Upper House of Parliament on Friday, will not provide immediate solution to the economy this year.

“More comprehensive effects can be expected for 2026 and 2027,” said Cyrus de La Rubia, chief economist at Hamburg Commercial Bank, when contracts are awarded by state actors and companies have increased their capabilities.

Germany’s DIW Economic Institute says only the planned infrastructure fund can increase economic output by more than two percent points in the next 10 years. With an agreement to increase defense and infrastructure costs, it is expected to increase by 2.1 % instead of 1.1 % in 2026.

Nevertheless, he recently revised his forecast for the economy this year, saying that after the prediction in December, it would stagnate because of the weakening of private spending. Similarly, business executives in the manufacturing Heartlands who are struggling with high labor and energy costs, and reducing jobs, are not yet joining in happiness.

“It is really a hurry to promote confidence for investment decisions,” the head of McBonus Vogogling, who manufactures a cylindrical festoon for carmakers and other industrial clients, is 450.

Referring to the dialogue between the political parties to form the coalition government after last month’s elections, he said, “Let’s see if the solid structural reforms have become part of the coalition agreement.”

The obstacles of capacity

Germany has lagged behind other European economies in the past two years. Gas producer West Fallon AGCCFO, Jesko Van Stachu, said the European Union and the domestic rules compound “practically reduced the economy” and called for the country’s new leadership to bring a tremendous reduction in bureaucracy.

Expenditure projects have revived the luck of Germany’s oldest and most suppressed companies – Thesson Karni has doubled in a month. But while his European steel business, the second largest continent’s steel maker, welcomed the stimulus this week, his head said he was based on capacity and job reduction plans.

Siemens on Tuesday announced plans to reduce 5,600 jobs in his digital industry business. About 340,000 educationists from Steam Sector – Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics – are expected to leave the labor market by 2035, which will damage the current gap between about 130,000 vacant posts in engineering and IT professions.

“We need more engineering capacity to implement a major investment package in concrete projects, which will take years, which will take years,” said Adrin Wilg, director of the Association of German Engineers (VDI). Even some warn about the potential heat of the economy unless these productive capabilities are increased.

“Otherwise, the demand for investment packages will lead to a rapid increase in inflation,” said Robert Grindke, senior economist, the organization of economic cooperation and development.
