I would assume that the government official included debt covered by the export insurance Hermes which is publicly owned (comparable to the US Exim bank). I doubt that economic reasons influenced Schröder much, judging from his limited economic expertise elsewhere. His anti-Iraq war stance was his way to win the 2002 election. During the Kosovo war he didn't mind supporting NATO action against Yugoslavia without UNSC backing. See also #reply-18800882 for refs to who supplied weapons to Iraq. Germany provided less than the USA.
