n Germany, the increase in public
spending has led to an increase in the debt-to-GDP ratio to
49.5%, the Federal Statistical Office reports. Compared to 2023,
when the debt-to-GDP ratio was 48.4%, there has been an increase
of 1.1%. According to the Federal Statistical Office, the
increase is mainly due to the significant increase in social
services in cash, such as pensions, long-term care allowances or
citizen's income, as well as higher social benefits in kind,
such as for hospital care or nursing care.
