FRANKFURT, Jan 12 (Reuters) - Germany does not need a second stimulus package to counter the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, given the existing support measures and as vaccination takes hold, economy minister Peter Altmaier told Die Zeit. Altmaier said that with infection rates remaining high, Germany faces a very difficult two to three months ahead, but stopped short of saying that extra support measures were needed. “No we do not need another stimulus programme,” Altmaier said in an interview published on Tuesday, adding that he would seek to revive the economy through structural reforms instead.
