FACTBOX-Germany's second stimulus package

(Reuters) - Germany's coalition government has agreed a second package of stimulus measures to help Europe's biggest economy weather what could turn into the country's worst recession since World War Two.

Below are details of the plan.

AMOUNT

The package will be worth 50 billion euros (45.5 billion pounds) over two years, including investment measures of 18 billion euros.

The package, which Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives and the Social Democrats (SPD) agreed late on Monday, follows a first package of measures in November, which the government said was worth 31 billion euros, but which had been attacked by many at home and abroad as too modest.

HELP FOR FIRMS

The package includes credit guarantees of up to 100 billion euros to help firms survive the credit crunch.

There is no mention of the state taking direct stakes in firms, as some conservatives had requested before the talks.
