Hamburg Secures Major Victory with "Growth Booster" Investment Package
- *
Contentment Expressed Over Successful Implementation of "Growth Enhancer" Adjustments - Satisfied with "development stimulus" reimbursement
Hamburg's Finance Senator, Andreas Dressel (SPD), has announced a significant win with the federal government's agreement on compensation for the city's 'Growth Booster' investment. "This is a monumental step in the right direction," Dressel shared during a visit to Japan. "The federal government will fully cover the tax losses at the municipal level, which is a massive relief."
Although this resolved a significant concern, Dressel acknowledges it isn't the ultimate solution. "For Hamburg, this is merely half the battle won, as the reduced revenues of the states are only partially covered," he explained.
Nevertheless, Dressel remained optimistic and expressed satisfaction with the outcome. He also praised the tax relief planned for companies by the black-red federal government. "This investment package is crucial and long overdue," Dressel asserted. "Implementation should be expedited."
The federal and state governments had provided a consensus on the distribution of costs, putting an end to the last major point of contention. Without federal compensation, Hamburg would face tax losses exceeding one billion euros by 2029, according to finance authority figures.
