Germany submitted its long-awaited debt sustainability plan to the European Commission last Thursday, requesting an extended seven- as opposed to four-year plan, MNI understands. 

The extended seven-year plan option allows countries to implement structural reforms and investments.  

The German debt plan has been long delayed because of recent federal elections and the formation of a new coalition government.
