Abstract

Bereits vor dem Ausbruch der Coronakrise war es um die Tragfähigkeit der deutschen Staatsfinanzen nicht gut bestellt. Berechnungen für den Fünften Tragfähigkeitsbericht des Bundesfinanzministeriums zeigen, dass in den nächsten Jahren noch deutlich höhere Haushaltüberschüsse erzielt werden müssten als vor der jetzigen Krise, um langfristig tragfähige Staatsfinanzen zu sichern.
