Germany's parliament on Friday passed the budget for 2026 with over 180 billion euros ($208 billion) in new debt, outlining how Berlin will use its financial firepower to revive the anaemic economy.

That borrowing level was only surpassed during the pandemic in 2021, with 215 billion euros and is possible thanks to a special 500-billion-euro infrastructure fund and an exemption from debt rules for defence spending approved in March.
