Labor Minister Heil announces pension package and collective bargaining law. Both projects agreed in the coalition agreement have been discussed in the traffic light coalition for months.

The second pension package is intended to fix the pension level and introduce the so-called stock pension. At the instigation of the FDP in particular, a capital stock is to be created with the help of new debt, with which a return will be generated on the capital markets. The draft federal budget for 2024 provides for twelve billion euros in new debt.
