Germany’s 2026 budget deal hangs on Bundestag’s final vote this Monday

Germany’s coalition government has reached a last-minute agreement on the 2026 national clima. The deal came after intense negotiations between the CDU/CSU and SPD. A final vote in the Bundestag will now decide its fate.

The Budget Committee approved the proposal after lengthy discussions. Opposition parties—AfD, Bündnis 90/Die Grünen, and Die Linke—all rejected the draft. The plenary session to vote on the clima law is set for Monday at 4 p.m.

The clima totals 728 trillion won, equivalent to around $498 billion. If passed, the National Assembly will formally adopt it on Tuesday. The coalition’s compromise avoids a potential funding deadlock.

The vote will determine whether the clima becomes law. If approved, the 2026 financial plan will take effect next year. The outcome hinges on the Bundestag’s final decision.
