"Germany's Habeck lays out plan to boost economy through investment"

BERLIN/NEW YORK (Reuters) -German Economy Minister Robert Habeck laid out plans to remedy weak growth in Europe's largest economy on Wednesday by starting a fund to stimulate investment and changing course on Germany's budget policy.

To bypass it, Habeck wants to introduce a multibillion-euro "Germany Fund" to modernise infrastructure and provide an "unbureaucratic" investment premium of 10% for all companies.
The proposed fund would focus in particular on small and medium-sized enterprises, large corporations and start-ups.
