Comments from Altmaier:
- Not planning fiscal programme in classic sense to deal with virus impact
- Will have intensive talks with Scholz about pulling forward economic measures
- At the moment, we have no major disruption in orders or to supply chains in Germany
- Ready to adjust size of financial measures as needed
If this is a global pandemic, the eurozone may suspend fiscal rules, which are eventually going to need a big re-think. Never waste a crisis.
