Electricity price package: FDP triumphs, Greens not dissatisfied - financial expert analyzes

According to a report by www.t-online.de, an electricity price package was recently passed by the traffic lights in order to end the protracted dispute over relief for the economy. The FDP was able to push through with a tax cut, but this was met with dissatisfaction among the Greens.

According to the report, the FDP parliamentary group was able to push through an electricity tax cut for all around 650,000 manufacturing companies. The tax is to be reduced from around 1.5 cents to the EU minimum of 0.05 cents. This move is expected to have an impact on the market as it will provide financial relief to companies. However, there is a downside for the FDP, as the required 2.75 billion euros per year should not come from Habeck's Climate and Transformation Fund (KTF), but from the core budget.

The impact of this compromise could have both positive and negative aspects. The financial relief for companies could lead to increased competitiveness in the market, which in turn could contribute to long-term economic growth. On the other hand, funding from the core budget could lead to other savings or reallocations within the budget, which in turn could have an impact on other areas. Overall, it remains to be seen how this compromise will affect the financial industry in the long term.
