How Lars Klingbeil now wants to become a mister growth

Lars Klingbeil with a slight delay in front of the many cameras that are built up in the Ministry of Finance. Who knows: Maybe the new landlord went through the most important key points again?

The performance has to sit, it is Klingbeil’s first big serve – and his first traces he leaves in the new office.

On Wednesday morning, the Federal Cabinet passed the first draft law from its home. In particular, tax reliefs for companies are planned to create incentives for private investments. “We bring Germany back to growth,” promises the finance minister, who moved into the Detlev-Rohwedder-Haus in the government district just four weeks ago.

For example, companies should be able to write off moving assets such as machines more quickly from 2025 to 2027, “super depreciation” are planned for up to 30 percent when purchasing.

In addition, the set of corporate tax for companies is to gradually drop from 15 percent to ten percent from 2028 to 2032. A more lush design of tax research allowances and other special depreciation for companies in e-car purchase are also planned.

Sounds small -scale? The SPD man opened the word “growth booster” for all of this, and, as Klingbeil said, he should now “boost” the economy. Hopp, hop!

Yes, black and red wants to make pace, especially finance minister and vice-chancellor Klingbeil, who has made a lot of going on in extremely short time-in addition to the not so small task of reanimating the paralyzing economy. Too much?

Until the summer break, Klingbeil wants to put two federal budgets into work, for the ongoing and the following year. At the same time, he works on the establishment law for the 500 billion special assets so that the infrastructure billion can also flow into the country. By the end of 2025, a reform of the debt brake has actually been appointed.

And then Klingbeil is also SPD boss. Chairman of a party who is looking for orientation after falling to a historical low (16.4 percent) in the Bundestag election. Klingbeil has to set it up, reorganize it programmatically. She prove to her that the hardships of the past few months – including personnel cupboard – were worth it. After the personal renewal, Klingbeil wants to miss a new basic program of the SPD, a new story.

Is that all about at the same time? Klingbeil puts on a difficult balancing act, plays two roles. With the risk that a task could suffer.

This Wednesday, the Minister of Finance Klingbeil can be seen in particular, with full focus on growth. And an imaginary health injection of the country: Several “investment booster” should get the economy going again after three years of recession.

What sounds expensive is also: Klingbeil’s Ministry of Finance expects tax reductions of almost 46 billion euros by 2029. A sum that does not speak small, but also wants to be understood as a signal: nothing comes from nothing. The investment doldrums in Germany must be broken. There is no free. So the message.

And thus to the SPD leader Lars Klingbeil, who recently said self-critically that the SPD had lost its character as a workers’ party. So ask the Social Democrats: What is in his “growth booster” for people with lower and medium -sized incomes? What is the sign of this first major project by the minister?

According to Klingbeil, it is above all the “important signal” that the black and red government fights for every workplace. In the past few months, many industrial workplaces have been dismantled and investment decisions against Germany were made.

His tax package should now strengthen industry, which should also be exhausted on small companies, consequently safe and – at best – also creates a new manner. That too: a hope. There is nothing more in it at first.

However, direct relief for small and medium -sized incomes are firmly agreed in the coalition. This is assured: Germany’s finance and Fitritz Minister Lars Klingbeil.
