Future Financial Allocation Plan for 2025

The German Bundestag is set to vote on the federal budget for 2025 in the session week from September 16 to 19. However, the budget, as of now, remains incomplete with several crucial details yet to be specified.

The total new debt due to these loans from special funds is over 140 billion euros, and the budget includes loans for infrastructure, but the exact amounts are not yet disclosed. The Budget Committee of the Bundestag has approved an expenditure budget of around 82 billion euros for new debt in the core budget.

The federal government under Chancellor Olaf Scholz, which will implement the approved budget in September 2025, is expected to continue in office until the planned federal election on September 28, 2025. Due to the early federal election and the formation of the government, the ministries have been operating with a provisional budget since the beginning of the year.

The budget does not specify the exact amount of loans for infrastructure in this paragraph, nor does it mention the total new debt for the 2025 budget in terms of the federal budget in general. The federal budget for the current year has been set at approximately 502.5 billion euros.

There are additional billions in loans from special funds for the Bundeswehr. The total new debt from the core budget, special funds, and the 2025 budget exceeds 292.5 billion euros (previous facts total + 140 billion euros from special funds + estimated amount for 2025 budget).

It's important to note that the 2025 budget has not been specified in terms of the total new debt it includes, the exact amount of loans for infrastructure, the budget for the core budget in general, or the federal budget in general. The provisional budget significantly restricts the financial leeway of the ministries.

As the details of the 2025 budget continue to unfold, it remains crucial for the public to stay informed about the financial decisions being made by the German government.
