On 10 April 2024, the Federal Cabinet acknowledged the final report on the 11th Spending Review, titled "Verbesserung der Wirkungsorientierung im Bundeshaushalt mit einem Schwerpunkt Nachhaltigkeit" ("Strengthening the impact orientation in the federal budget with a focus on sustainability"). Since the 2010s, the federal government has consistently refined its budget management's target and impact orientation through a series of important changes and innovations. The basis for this enhanced impact orientation is a report prepared by ZEW Mannheim and GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft for the Federal Ministry of Finance.
