According to the plans of the governing coalition, the constitutional mandate to redeem the Staatsleistungen is to be fulfilled before the end of this legislative period. Inherently, various approaches are possible: In addition to one-off payments and annual redemption payments, redemption bonds are also suitable for redeeming the Staatsleistungen. Redemption in the federate states could be regulated by one or by a combination of several redemption instruments, depending on the specific state requirements. The foundation for the actual calculation of the redemption payment and the different redemption plans for each federate state would be a federal law on redemption principles. This law has yet to be passed.
The debate on the redemption of the Staatsleistungen in Germany is ongoing. It remains to be seen which regulations and replacement instruments the legislature will ultimately choose.
This Monitor looks at the appropriate instruments to redeem the Staatsleistungen and provides ideas on how to accomplish a legally and financially effective redemption.
