Germany's Economy Minister Robert Habeck has unveiled a plan to revitalize the country's struggling economy through debt-financed investments.

Facing a potential second consecutive year of recession, Habeck's proposal includes a "Deutschlandfonds" to support businesses, from startups to large corporations, with a 10% investment premium.

This initiative aims to stimulate growth by easing the financial burden on companies investing in new machinery and infrastructure.

However, the plan has sparked debate, with some economists questioning its sustainability and potential to distort European competition.

Habeck's approach also calls for reducing bureaucracy and enhancing workforce participation, particularly among women, to modernize the economy.

Despite opposition from Finance Minister Christian Lindner, who warns against increasing national debt, Habeck insists that these measures are crucial for Germany's economic future.
