Schwerin (dpa / mv) – Despite war and crises, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is careful with its money. The north-east received this on Friday from the Stability Council, chaired by Federal Finance Minister Christian Lindner (FDP) and Rhineland-Palatinate Finance Minister Doris Ahnen (SPD), as MV department head Heiko Geue (SPD) announced.
“As part of its monitoring function for compliance with the debt brake, the Stability Council noted at the meeting that Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania will fully comply with the state regulations of its debt brake in the years 2021, 2022 and 2023.” In addition, the Council reviewed the country’s budgetary situation for the years 2020 to 2026. “As part of this ongoing budget monitoring, he found that the country was not threatened with a budget emergency,” explained Geue. This is good news for Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
