The chipmaker has earmarked $1.1 billion to boost the Dresden plant's chip production, with the first phase targeted for completion in 2028 to add 10% capacity, Bloomberg quoted Breen as saying.

GlobalFoundries ( GFS ) has received an initial provision from the German government to start the project's buildout, but Breen said the company is still waiting to see if the expansion will be given subsidies under the EU Chips Act, according to the report.

GlobalFoundries ( GFS ) did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.

Shares of the company fell 1.8% in recent trading.
