The Basel framework encompasses all applicable standards issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. The Bundesbank played a substantial part in formulating all of these standards.

The branches of the Bundesbank supply the economy with euro banknotes and coins, and offers private customers the opportunity to exchange D-Mark banknotes and coins free-of-charge and with no fixed deadline.
