BERLIN (Reuters) – Germany plans to increase new debt by 39.2 billion euros ($42.04 billion) this year to cushion Europe’s biggest economy against the fallout from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, government sources said on Monday. The envisaged new borrowing will take Germany’s net debt in 2022 to 138.9 billion euros. Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s government is on Wednesday expected to approve the debt-financed supplementary budget. ($1 = 0.9324 euros) (Reporting by Joseph Nasr and Holger Hansen; Editing by Paul Carrel)
