Verschuldung: Ifo-Chef Fuest fordert Regierung nach Zinsanstieg zum Handeln auf

Ifo-Chef Clemens Fuest has called on the German government to take action in response to the sharp increase in interest rates on government bonds. Fuest, the president of the Ifo Institute, stated that the rise in yields on German government bonds is a sign of growing concern over increasing public debt and the potential for higher inflation.

He urged the government to present a convincing, multi-year strategy for reducing government spending and boosting economic growth, while encouraging investment spending to strengthen confidence in German public finances and lower borrowing costs. Fuest also called for the German government to push for stronger debt reduction incentives at the European level, including entering into equity participation in investment in government bonds by banks.
