Abstract: This article examines the scope for expenditure of each German federal state (including local governments) to achieve a balanced budget in 2020 when the debt brake fully enters into force. After deducting interest and pension burden, a major group of states could afford marked annual increases vis-à-vis 2013. Heavily indebted Bremen could raise expenditure only slightly, whereas Saarland would have to reduce it even given lower interest rate and pension increase assumptions. Some East German states also face major challenges despite 2013 budget surpluses, as special financial assistance will be phased out. Figures adjusted for price changes indicate needs for cuts in several states. Copyright ZBW and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2015
