German election winner Friedrich Merz and the Social Democrats agree in principle with Greens on debt reform.

The debt reform plan would exempt defense spending from the country's constitutionally enshrined debt brake.

It would create a special 500 billion ( $545 billion ) fund for infrastructure investment.

Merz 's goal is to secure the funds before the new Bundestag convenes on March 25 .
