Germany's cabinet on Wednesday agreed to earmark 57.6 billion euros ($63.2 billion) for green investments next year, up 60.2% from a 2023 target, the Finance Ministry said, as Berlin ramps up subsidies to help the country become net zero by 2045.

The lion's share of next year's Climate and Transformation Fund will go to Germany's building sector, with 18.9 billion euros for subsidies in renovations and new construction in 2024, the ministry said in a statement.

Supporting renewable energy production in Europe has become more urgent since the United States introduced generous subsidies through its Inflation Reduction Act which could lure manufacturers away from Europe. Total investments in the Climate and Transformation Fund, a supplementary budget to push ahead the economy's green transition dubbed in German KTF, would amount to 212 billion euros between 2024 and 2027, the ministry added.
