How might Germany's borrowing policies change after the upcoming federal election?

The upcoming German federal election suggests potential relaxation of tight borrowing restrictions. Frederick Mertz, the Christian Democrat chancellor candidate leading in polls, has shown willingness to move away from debt restrictions, though he emphasizes reducing bureaucracy and spending first before taking on more debt. A likely outcome is a coalition between Mertz's party and either the Social Democrats or Greens, both of whom advocate for increased borrowing. This coalition is viewed as the most market-friendly scenario, giving investors hope that the new government will adopt more flexible fiscal policies to boost Germany's economy.
