STORY: NOTE: YOU WILL RECEIVE THIS CONTRIBUTION WITHOUT VOICE TEXT. O-TON FEDERAL FINANCE MINISTER CHRISTIAN LINDNER (FDP): “We are mobilizing 200 billion euros by upgrading the Economic Stabilization Fund in a purposeful and targeted manner for measures that are closely related to the energy war. It’s not about general projects, no matter how desirable they may be , the traffic light coalition, but it is about showing solidarity with the people of this country now and mobilizing our economic strength in order to preserve it for the future. In doing so, we are sending a double signal, so to speak. The first signal is on Putin, that we will not let our stance be shaken, but that we choose an “all in” strategy to protect our country. But it is also a second message. It is a message for the international capital markets. We are presenting one A protective screen to protect us But behind this protective screen we will continue to operate with the rules of the debt brake. A clear signal to investors around the world, to those who buy German government bonds: Germany will continue to be the gold standard for state financing. We remain solid behind the defensive screen. And that sends a signal that we will continue with the continuity of German stability policy.”
