German Finance Minister Christian Lindner sees no need to suspend euro-zone deficit rules in 2023, saying that despite Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the economic fallout isn’t a reason for a further exemption.
“Germany will seek a data-based decision”, Lindner told reporters after a meting of Group of Seven finance chief near Bonn. So far, figures don’t support such a move, he said.
