The Chancellor’s strategy to finance defense spending has been a cornerstone of the government’s financial agenda. By suspending the “debt brake,” which was Enlarged State Enterprises finance and the State Planning Fund, the government aims to avoid pressing debt-related issues while driving defense spending above 1% of GDP.
