Raytheon awarded $71 million in Navy contracts for missile systems
Investing.com -- Germany has been granted an additional €1 trillion ($1.1 trillion) in funding, essentially free of charge, following a favorable response from bond markets to its recent spending bill, according to Bloomberg, citing Deutsche Bank AG (ETR:DBKGn) Chairman Alexander Wynaendts.
The Chairman expressed the importance of spending this money prudently and implementing structural reforms to maintain this favorable condition during a panel discussion hosted by the Institute of International Finance on Thursday.
Last week, Germany authorized hundreds of billions of euros in debt-financed defense and infrastructure expenditure. This move ends a long-standing period of austerity and ushers in a new era of deficit spending. The funds are expected to stimulate Europe’s largest economy, modernize its aging infrastructure, and enhance its defense capabilities.
The decision to increase spending was compelled by President Donald Trump’s withdrawal from US commitments to European security. This significant funding boost is considered historic for Germany, marking a shift from its previous fiscal policies.
