The German government has announced new measures to support families starting in 2026, including an increase in child benefits and higher tax allowances.
According to official data, child benefits will rise significantly to ease the financial burden on households, while tax allowances will be raised to reduce pressure on family incomes. These steps are part of a broader policy aimed at strengthening social justice and improving living standards.
Family associations in Berlin welcomed the decision, while economists noted that the measures could boost domestic consumption but also pose challenges for the state budget.
