German Finance Minister Olaf Scholz plans to take on net new debt of around 100 billion euros ($117.92 billion) next year to sustain Berlin's fight against the coronavirus pandemic, four people familiar with the matter told Reuters on Thursday.

The plans underline an increased readiness in Berlin to boost borrowing after a source told Reuters earlier this month that Scholz had initially been eyeing additional debt of at least 80 billion euros in his draft 2021 budget. Scholz said in a Reuters interview last week that he was planning to take on substantial additional debt next year to finance further measures and sustain the recovery, but declined to give an exact figure.

The step would require another suspension of Germany’s constitutionally enshrined debt limits after Berlin already abandoned them this year. Scholz is determined to stick to the fiscal rules from 2022 onwards, which would allow net new debt but to a lesser extent.
