The three parties set to make up Germany’s next government are presenting their coalition agreement later on Wednesday, about eight weeks after the national elections.
The parties are the Social Democrats (SPD), Greens and Free Democrats (FDP).
The document will be made public at a press conference announced by all three parties, taking place in Berlin at 3.00 p.m. (1400 GMT).
The Social Democrat finance minister and deputy chancellor, Olaf Scholz, is expected to succeed Angela Merkel as chancellor.
After over a decade and a half in power, Merkel’s conservative bloc is heading into opposition.
The SPD, Greens and FDP’s agreement must be put to party members.
If they okay the deal, Germany is set to have its first “traffic light” coalition at the federal level, named after the colours of the three parties.
