Central government has increasingly relied on off-budget entities in recent times. It uses them for various purposes, such as for the German armed forces, climate change mitigation and energy price assistance. In the current Monthly Report, the Bundesbank recommends refocusing central government finances more strongly on the core budget and making less extensive use of off-budget entities. This could also entail dissolving existing off-budget entities. “Independently of this, the government should provide meaningful information for all off-budget entities,” the experts write.
