BERLIN: The German army must undergo significant organizational and personnel reforms to effectively utilize increased defense spending, the country\u2019s federal audit institute said on Tuesday in a special report.<\/p>\n
In March, Germany\u2019s parliament approved plans for a massive spending surge, largely removing defense investment from the rules that cap borrowing.<\/p>\n
The Bundesrechnungshof report highlights that despite relaxed debt rules, the Bundeswehr must prioritize its core mission of national and alliance defense while reducing administrative processes.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2019Whatever it takes\u2019 must not become \u2018money doesn\u2019t matter!\u2019\u201d said Kay Scheller, president of the institute, emphasising the need for responsible financial management and increased efficiency in defense spending.<\/p>\n
Key recommendations include a thorough review of tasks, prioritization of defense-critical duties, and restructuring the Bundeswehr to focus on \u201cmore troops, less administration.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Bundesrechnungshof recommends careful justification of financial needs, conducting efficiency analyzes, as well as maintaining a balance between time, cost and quality.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is crucial that these funds are used responsibly to significantly increase the effectiveness of defense spending,\u201d Scheller said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
