    Which steps is Germany taking to respond to COVID-19 and assist potentially stressed/distressed companies?
    2020-03-20

    Due to its constitutional and legal system, Germany is different from a number of other countries around the world. Measures fighting the spread of COVID-19 in Germany cannot be taken at the central government level in Berlin (Bundesregierung) but have to be taken by the governments of the 16 states (Landesregierungen), which constitute the Federal Republic of Germany.

    However, in recent days the Prime Ministers of the 16 German states have coordinated their action closely with each other and with the central German government.
