++ Information appointment in the morning October 23rd, 2024: Habecks investment fund ++

Federal Economics Minister Robert Habeck has once again advocated for an investment fund that is intended to stimulate the weakening economy. The fund is intended, for example, to support companies in purchasing new machines. This and other topics of the morning with Andreas Herrler.

Money for investments and infrastructure

As the “Bild” newspaper reported, this “Germany Fund” will cover ten percent of the costs in the form of an investment bonus. Money should also flow into infrastructure projects. It was aimed at small and medium-sized companies as well as large companies and start-ups.

Lindner recently opposed it

Habeck had already proposed a special fund worth billions in February to relieve the burden on companies. Finance Minister Christian Lindner rejected the proposal at the time. You can’t “incur hundreds of billions of euros in debt in order to pay subsidies on credit,” said the FDP politician at the time.
