Budget 2025 - Heinold welcomes agreement on draft budget

Schleswig-Holstein's Finance Minister Monika Heinold welcomes the budget agreement of the Traffic Light Coalition. "We will now closely examine the package of the federal government and see what implications it will have for Schleswig-Holstein," the Green politician told the German Press Agency. "Regardless, it is good that an understanding has been reached. In these tense times, the people in Germany need stability and security and must know how things are going in the country."

The federal government has now set the direction, said Heinold. "It is right and important that the federal government also intends to provide two billion euros for investments in kindergarten quality for the years 2025 and 2026." For this, the coalition in Schleswig-Holstein had engaged in a Bundesrat initiative.

Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD), Economics Minister Robert Habeck (Greens), and Finance Minister Christian Lindner (FDP) had previously announced a political agreement on the budget 2025 in Berlin after all-night negotiations. It must be approved next in the cabinet and then in the Bundestag.
