Here's the deal: Frankfurt's city council has given the green light to the supplementary budget for the year 2025. This new budget packs a punch, with a whopping 268.72 million euros added to the kitty from investment activities. With this generous infusion, the total budget for 2025 now stands at a staggering 1.19 billion euros. Sounds impressive, huh?
Well, according to Mayor Bastian Bergerhoff (Greens), the need for this additional budget was due to some additions to the investment program, particularly in the fields of education, recreation, and culture. "The supplementary budget is essentially our answer to these enlarged investment plans," explains the mayor. "Moreover, we've bumped up our contributions to the state of Hesse in the municipal financial equalization and to the State Welfare Association." With these tough decisions in play, the city's focus on these factors is expected to dominate its budget planning for the year 2026, as these increases have a substantial impact on the city's medium-term planning.
So, what's the lowdown on this city of Frankfurt? Well, it's one of Germany's financial powerhouses and the tallest city in the European Union—fancy that, huh?
