Die Kommunen nehmen im föderalen System eine entscheidende Position für öffentliche Investitionen ein.

Eine Erklärung der Investitionsschwäche liegt in den, im Vergleich zu Bund und Ländern, strengen und prozyklisch wirkenden Schuldenregeln aus Haushaltsausgleich, Kreditgenehmigungen, Kommunalaufsicht und Sanktionen.
