摘要:Since 1970 public debt in Germany has risen dramatically. The debt growth has
neither been stopped by the constitutional deficit limit, nor by the European
Stability and Growth Pact. At the moment, the cyclical upswing triggers increasing
tax revenues and diminishing deficits. Yet this does not mean that fiscal
fundament is sustainable. What are the chances for a structural consolidation of
public finances? Which institutional reforms must be envisaged? Can these
changes be accomplished in the planned second round of the reform of intergovernmental
fiscal relations?
