Abstract

Die Corona-Pandemie zwingt die Bundesländer zu fiskalpolitischen Reaktionen historischen Ausmaßes. Insgesamt wurden über 105 Mrd. Euro an neuen Schulden genehmigt, zumeist durch die Verabschiedung – teils mehrerer – Nachtragshaushalte. In einigen Bundesländern wurden auch Sondervermögen eingerichtet, was zu Intransparenz führen kann. Normiert man die mögliche Neuverschuldung auf ein Jahr, so entsprechen die neuen Kreditermächtigungen in manchen Bundesländern 30% des Haushaltsvolumens 2019. Günstige Bedingungen haben die Konsolidierungsfortschritte, die diese Handlungsspielräume möglich gemacht haben, getrieben. Es ist nicht sicher, ob sich die Bundesländer auch in Zukunft solchen Bedingungen gegenübersehen werden.
