The Federal Cabinet adopted a series of social measures in August: including training for nursing assistants, more powers and less bureaucracy in the care sector, the 2025 pension package and combating tax fraud and undeclared work. 

With a view to easing the burden on citizens, it was decided to abolish the gas storage levy and reduce bureaucracy by speeding up the awarding of contracts. For more innovation and competitiveness, the governing coalition also agreed on the High-Tech Agenda, more consumer protection and more climate protection through the Geothermal Energy Acceleration Act and the Carbon Dioxide Storage Act in favour of these climate-friendly technologies. The Federal Government also set up a National Security Council to pool and coordinate knowledge and expertise.
