Brandenburg's economy in the upswing: Landtag is about to decide!

Brandenburg's economy in the upswing: Landtag is about to decide!

Brandenburg's economy is slightly recovered and the IFO Institute strikes positive tones, despite continuing weaknesses in industry and in construction. The service sector in particular benefits from this relaxation. But while the economy is gaining drive, there is an important political decision: In the state parliament, the controversial double budget for 2025/2026 will be up to vote, such as reported.

Despite massive criticism and protests, the state government of the SPD and BSW holds on their course. Finance Minister Robert Crumbach described the negotiations on the budget as the most difficult in recent years. According to the plans, the budget will include around 34 billion euros, with 16.69 billion euros for 2025 and 17.40 billion euros for 2026, so mdfe.brandenburg.de

critical points in the household

A cover gap of 4.39 billion euros still has to be closed. In order to achieve this, savings of 2.5 percent in 2025 and 2.2 percent are required in 2026. The repayment of Corona loans will be suspended by 2026, which gives the country further air, but will increase the total debt to almost 23.5 billion euros. In the same breath, a new debt of around 920 million euros in 2025 and almost 1.2 billion euros in 2026 is expected, reports rbb24.de .

further developments and initiatives

But not only the financial aspects are illuminated. Brandenburg is also planning support for refugees with a total of 413 million euros in 2025 and 434 million euros in 2026. The police are increased by 100 positions, which sets a clear signal for more security. The basic financing of the universities is also continued at a high level in the education sector.

The upcoming event "Inclusive wins" on June 29 in Potsdam once again shows the region's commitment to integration. Athletes with and without impairments compete together, which not only promotes the sporting spirit, but also sets a strong sign of community.

While the political course is set and the household is on the brink, it remains to be seen how the vote in the state parliament ends. The outposition outcry will certainly not be quieter even after the coordination, because one thing is certain: there is still a lot to regulate in Brandenburg.
