Progress on the Stuttgart — Ulm project
On January 26, 2018, the DB AG Supervisory Board approved a financing framework of € 8.2 billion for the Stuttgart 21 Project. This financing framework contains a buffer of just under € 0.5 billion to take into account unforeseen events, which can only be claimed with the prior consent of the Supervisory Board. On June 19, 2019, the Supervisory Board approved this buffer in order to finance potential cost increases due to increased market prices in the outstanding awarded tenders.
