“Germany has made a sharp U-turn in policy due to the corona virus crisis in what one economist has described as a “blessing in disguise.”Up to the start of the pandemic, Germany had long been a supporter of fiscal prudency and balanced budgets. It was even written into its constitution that it should not widen its debt burdens.In addition,Germany was often against major plans for European integration. However, its political approach has now changed with the Covid-19 crisis, and this has significant repercussions for European markets.“This crisis has clearly led to a remarkable U-turn in German politics,” Carsten Brzeski, chief economist at ING Germany, told CNBC.”
