I costruttori tedeschi applaudono al fondo infrastrutturale da 500 miliardi di euro.

# German builders have welcomed plans announced yesterday by the likely new German governing coalition to set up a €500bn special fund to address the country’s [failing infrastructure](https://www.globalconstructionreview.com/crumbling-bridges-german-builders-raise-alarm-over-budget-limbo/).

It came after early talks between leaders of the first-place Christian Democratic Union (CDU), its Bavarian sister party the Christian Social Union (CSU), and likely coalition partners the Social Democrats (SPD).

The parties also said they would table a motion in parliament to let Germany’s 16 individual states borrow as much as 0.35% of their economic output to invest in improving their economies.
