Overall, the German financial system has coped well with the phase of rising interest rates until June 2023. Nevertheless, there are still substantial vulnerabilities even after the ECB's key interest rate cuts. These result from the difficult economic situation, price trends on the commercial real estate market and geopolitical tensions, among other things. In addition, new structural developments are emerging in the financial system, for example non-bank financial intermediaries are becoming increasingly relevant.
What does all this mean for the stability of the German financial system? Is it resilient enough to deal with the challenges and fulfill its central role in the economy as a whole?
Dr. Benjamin Weigert, Head of the Financial Stability Department at the Deutsche Bundesbank, will address these and other questions at the presentation of the Bundesbank's Financial Stability Report 2024. The event will take place on February 13, 2025 from 18:00 to approx. 19:30 at the headquarters of the Deutsche Bundesbank in NRW (Berliner Allee 14, 40212 Düsseldorf).
The event is free of charge. Please register via the website.
