German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s cabinet plans a special meeting on Friday to start implementing large parts of its 130 billion-euro stimulus package, three sources told Reuters on Monday, Trend reports.
The cabinet is expected to pave the way for the agreed temporary cut in value-added tax, cash handouts for parents and bigger incentives to buy electric cars, the sources said.
Merkel’s ruling coalition sealed the stimulus package last week to speed up the recovery of Europe’s largest economy from the coronavirus pandemic.
