Germany's Finance Minister discussing the possibility of a Stimulus Package
>COVID-19 | Germany has means to respond if virus sparks economic crisis, says Finance Minister
>Germany would be in a position to enact a fiscal stimulus package should the coronavirus spark a global economic crisis, Finance Minister Olaf Scholz said in remarks published on Sunday. The spread of the virus has raised fears of a pandemic. In Germany there have been 66 confirmed cases, and a government crisis committee on Friday widened cross-border travel guidelines and cancelled major international events. βShould it come to major turmoil in the global economy because world markets and production centres become affected, we have all the means to act fast and decisively,β Scholz told Welt am Sonntag newspaper. βOur fiscal policy is built on a solid footing so that we can deal with a major economic crisis with full force.β
Looks like the stimulus packages are a hot topic now.
