Underutilization of Special Fund 2025 Revealed in Federal Finance Ministry Report
A recent monitoring report from the Federal Ministry of Finance indicates significant underutilization of the Special Fund 2025, with only 24 billion euros disbursed from a planned 37.2 billion euros in expenditures for the previous year.
As of the end of May, only 26 out of 109 planned measures for the current year have been implemented. The report assesses that the average achievement rate for investment projects stands at 54 percent. Despite these initial challenges, the Ministry anticipates a noticeable growth stimulus. The Bundestag and Bundesrat approved an additional borrowing capacity of 500 billion euros last year, aimed at enhancing infrastructure and climate protection investments, with the special fund structured over a twelve-year period.
