Munich: The Bavarian state government defended the increased debt burden caused by the Corona crisis. Finance Minister Füracker said that every euro was ultimately a necessary investment. The concept of investing instead of blindly saving is correct, as shown by the cautious economic recovery. To cope with the corona pandemic and its consequences, the Free State took out around 7.2 billion euros in 2020 and around 2.9 billion euros in 2021. This puts Bavaria in the lead nationwide. Füracker emphasized, however, that no other federal state was so badly affected. The money flowed, among other things, into the health sector, for example in vaccination centers and recruiting in health authorities as well as in aid programs for companies.
