Abstract

According to a survey conducted among municipal financial officers by the Federal Ministry of Economy and Energy, many German municipalities have a high need for external guidance and support when it comes to realizing investment projects. One possible solution proposed by the expert commission “Strengthening Investment in Germany” is the creation of the federal and state-finance infrastructure company (or several decentralized infrastructure companies). In this way, the advisory services for municipalities can be expanded structurally, and a potential obstacle to municipal investment activity can be further reduced. Viele Kommunen in Deutschland haben bei der Realisierung von Investitionsprojekten einen hohen Bedarf an externer Beratung und Unterstützung. Dies ergibt sich aus einer vom Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Energie durchgeführten Befragung unter kommunalen Finanzverantwortlichen. Ein möglicher Lösungsansatz könnte in der von der Expertenkommission „Stärkung von Investitionen in Deutschland“ vorgeschlagenen Gründung einer von Bund und Ländern getragenen Infrastrukturgesellschaft (oder mehrerer dezentraler Infrastrukturgesellschaften) bestehen. Auf diese Weise könnte das Beratungsangebot für Kommunen strukturell ausgebaut und ein mögliches Hemmnis für die Investitionstätigkeit auf kommunaler Ebene weiter reduziert werden.
