Auf einen Blick
– Mit dem Merz-Paket (18.03.2025) beschloss der Bundestag KreditermĂ€chtigungen von rund 900 Milliarden Euro â aufgeteilt in 500 Mrd. fĂŒr Infrastruktur/Klima (SVIK) und rund 400 Mrd. fĂŒr Verteidigung. Das Paket erforderte eine GrundgesetzĂ€nderung.
– Sondervermögen können die verfassungsrechtliche Schuldenbremse legal umgehen, wenn sie im Grundgesetz verankert sind. Ohne Verfassungsrang verbrauchen sie den regulĂ€ren Verschuldungsspielraum.
– Aktuell gibt es 27 Sondervermögen des Bundes. Die bekanntesten und volumenmĂ€Ăig gröĂten sind SVIK (500 Mrd.), das Sondervermögen Bundeswehr (100 Mrd.) und der Klima- und Transformationsfonds.
(…)
Die entscheidende Eigenschaft eines Sondervermögens ist, dass es Ausgaben und Schulden aus dem sichtbaren Bundeshaushalt herauslöst. Das Bundesfinanzministerium kann damit Kreditaufnahmen tĂ€tigen, die im regulĂ€ren Etat nicht erscheinen, nicht dem parlamentarischen Budgetrecht unterfallen und nicht gegen die Schuldenbremse verstoĂen, sofern das Sondervermögen im Grundgesetz verankert ist. Wer also nur den offiziellen Bundeshaushalt liest, hat kein vollstĂ€ndiges Bild der staatlichen Verschuldung Deutschlands.
In August 2026, the nationâs gross debt eclipsed $40 trillion. Of that amount, approximately 80 percent was debt held by the public â representing cash borrowed from domestic and foreign investors. The remaining 20 percent was intragovernmental debt, which simply records transactions between one part of the federal government and another.
(August 2026)
The national debt is growing by approximately
– $ 4.8 million per minute
– $ 285 million per hour
– $ 6.8 billion a day
(…)
We are spending 3,000,000,000 per day on interest payments on the debt.

The very richest Americans are among the biggest winners from President Joe Bidenâs time in office, despite his farewell address warning of an âoligarchyâ and a âtech industrial complexâ that threaten US democracy.
The 100 wealthiest Americans got more than $1.5 trillion richer over the last four years, with tech tycoons including Elon Musk, Larry Ellison and Mark Zuckerberg leading the way, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. The top 0.1% gained more than $6 trillion, Federal Reserve estimates through September show.

Wall Street rallied on Monday, with the Nasdaq climbing 3% and the Dow marking a record-high âclose after the United States and Iran struck a preliminary agreement to end the Middle East war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, leading to âan easing of inflation fears as crude oil prices dropped.
The deal framework â expected to be formally signed in Switzerland on Friday â did not address key issues such as Tehran‘s nuclear program and the Israel-Lebanon conflict.
Oil futures have seen their biggest weekly drop in nearly two months as news swirled of a potential US-Iran deal that could see the Strait of Hormuz reopened and a ceasefire extended between Washington and Tehran.
Brent oil crude futures fell to $92.69 a barrel, a weekly drop of more than 10 percent.

Asian stocks edged higher as signs Iran may join talks with the US fostered cautious optimism about progress in the Middle East ahead of a looming ceasefire deadline. Oil dropped.
The UK‘s main stock indexes dipped on Monday in broad-based losses as fears that the U.S.-Iran ceasefire âcould collapse weighed on sentiment.
The U.S. seized an Iranian âcargo ship and traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remained largely halted, sending crude oil prices more than 5% higher.
Oil prices dropped sharply and US stocks surged Friday after the Iranian foreign minister said the Strait of Hormuz will be âcompletely openâ for commercial transit during the remainder of the ceasefire.
Brent crude, the global benchmark, fell 11.2%, to just below $88.25 per barrel. WTI, the US benchmark, sank 10.9% to $81.20 per barrel. Oil prices traded at their lowest levels in five weeks.
In comments first reported by state media, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told EU Council president AntĂłnio Costa that Iran has „the necessary will to end this war“ but expects certain guarantees in exchange.
Pezeshkian also said on Monday that any end to the war in the Middle East must „guarantee the security and interests of the Iranian people,“ according to comments first published by the state news agency IRNA and reported by regional media.

The world saves in dollars in large part because it pays in dollars. The dollar‘s dominance in cross-border trade is arguably built on the petrodollar: globally traded oil is priced and invoiced in USD. This arrangement can be traced to a deal struck in 1974 where Saudi Arabia agreed to price oil in USD and invest surpluses in USD assets, in exchange for US security guarantees. Because oil is a core input to global manufacturing and transport, there is a natural incentive for global value chains to dollarize, and global surpluses to accumulate in USD.
The foundations of the petrodollar regime have been under pressure even before this conflict. Most Middle East oil is now sold to Asia not the US; sanctioned oil from Russia and Iran has already been trading off dollar rails; Saudi Arabia has been localizing defence, and experimenting with forms of non-dollar payment infrastructure such as Project mBridge.
The current conflict may expose further fault lines, by challenging the US security umbrella for Gulf infrastructure and the maritime security for global trade in oil. Damage to Gulf economies could encourage an unwind in their foreign asset savings held largely in dollars. In this context, reports that the passage for ships through the Strait of Hormuz may be granted in exchange for oil payments in yuan should be closely followed. The conflict could be remembered as a key catalyst for erosion in petrodollar dominance, and the beginnings of the petroyuan.
The petrodollar helps keep borrowing costs down for US consumers and Washington, giving them big advantages over peers

Traders reportedly placed $580 million in oil bets minutes before Donald Trump‘s post on Iran talks, triggering sharp moves in crude and stocks and raising questions over the timing of the trades
