Wonder why Germany is heading towards a crisis similar to Greece 13 years ago? Because the real government debt is 130% of GDP not 65%
During the weekend a friend of mine claimed how German debt is still “low” and the country has room for to absorb ~900bn$ of spending that will mostly be channeled to the military. However it couldn’t explain why he sees signs of financial strains all around Germany.
My answer: are you aware there is more than 1 trillion EUR of debt in state and federal agencies with government guarantees not being included in the official public debt calculations?
