Germany has fulfilled its reparations obligations related to World War II. In 2010, Germany made the final payment of interest on the debt it had been paying since the 1953 London Debt Agreement. By doing so, Germany settled the reparations imposed by the Treaty of Versailles and subsequent agreements. Thus, Germany no longer owes money for World War II reparations as it has completed all its scheduled payments.
