As in 2023, the monetary policy measures of the past few years shaped the Bundesbank’s annual accounts in the 2024 financial year. It recorded an accumulated loss of €19.2 billion for the reporting year, Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel and First Deputy Governor Sabine Mauderer said at the press conference presenting the Bank’s annual accounts. The Bundesbank has a sound balance sheet, Mr Nagel stressed, explaining that the value of its revaluation reserves was many times greater than the current and prospective accumulated losses.

As of 10 October 2019, the German Federal government will issue a german €2 commemorative collector’s coin marking the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The mint condition coins can be purchased at all Bundesbank branches as they become available.
