Germany’s 2025 budget prioritizes digital growth but overlooks key sectors
The German federal government will adopt its national budget this Wednesday. The plan includes major funding increases for digital projects, cybersecurity and public administration modernisation.
The 2025 budget allocates €38.29 billion to transport under the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDS). A further €1.36 billion will go to the new Federal Ministry for Digital and State Modernisation, formed after responsibilities shifted between departments. Despite this, the BMDS still lacks its own dedicated budget line for social security administration.
The budget marks a clear shift toward digital priorities, with substantial funding for cybersecurity, identity systems and public administration. However, the exclusion of telecoms infrastructure and data centres from energy tax breaks leaves some sectors without expected support. The final vote on the budget takes place this Wednesday.
