On 25 March, the German Bundestag approved, with a large majority, the stimulus package which the government had decided on two days earlier. It also suspended the constitutionally enshrined debt brake in order to approve the supplementary government budget of 156 billion euros.

This money will be used to fund social benefits and direct aid to companies.
