BERLIN, Sept 4 (Reuters) – Germany will spend 65 billion euros on its third package of measures to protect consumers and businesses from the effects of soaring inflation, the government said in a document released on Sunday. .
These measures, which include proposals to extend reduced fares in public transport and 1.7 billion euros in tax advantages for 9,000 energy-intensive companies, were validated on Sunday by the three parties of the coalition government of the Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
“This is the most important of the three sets of measures so far,” said the Chancellor during a press conference. (Thomas Escritt, Gilles Guillaume for the French version)
