Abstract

The article analyses the package presented by the German government in June 2020 to combat the economic consequences of the corona pandemic with respect to its ability to stabilize the economy, on the one hand, and the social and ecological transformation of the German economy, on the other. It is shown that the measures to support growth with their strong focus on boosting consumption through a temporarily lower sales tax are not optimal. The use of other instruments, such as transfer payments, could have set stronger impulses and achieved a greater effect. Moreover, due to the relatively low volume, future spending will only make a limited contribution to limiting climate change. All in all, the package should nevertheless provide a relevant economic stimulus and at the same time send important signals for the social and economic transformation.
