Abstract

Unsicherheiten über die Entwicklung der gesamtwirtschaftlichen und der epidemiologischen Rahmenbedingungen prägen die Budgeterstellung für 2021 bis 2024. Zur Abfederung der ökonomischen und sozialen Folgen der COVID 19-Krise setzte die Bundesregierung eine Reihe von Maßnahmen, deren Kosten zu einem Rekorddefizit 2020 beitrugen und weiterhin zu einem drastischen Anstieg der gesamtstaatlichen Schuldenquote auf bis zu 85% des BIP (2022) führen werden. Langfristig sollte die hohe Schuldenlast abgebaut werden; das anhaltend niedrige Zinsniveau begünstigt jedoch ein reduziertes Tempo der fiskalischen Konsolidierung und erlaubt es auch, teilweise auf ein "Herauswachsen" aus der Verschuldung zu setzen.
