Karin Sagner-Kaiser of the CIC and Prof. Andreas Igl of the Bundesbank’s University of Applied Sciences were at the Bank of Mauritius. They explained the Basel III reform in detail to an audience of around 60 people working in banking supervision and at credit institutions. 

The Bundesbank and the Joint Vienna Institute discussed monetary policy issues with experts from 12 different countries. The topics of climate change and digitalisation raised many questions.

The G20 is currently considered the main forum for international economic cooperation and is therefore at the heart of multilateral financial diplomacy. Since its inception in 1999, the G20 has primarily focused on managing financial crises, strengthening the financial sectors of emerging market countries, enhancing the Bretton Woods institutions and developing growth strategies.

As part of the Bundesbank Invited Speakers Series, Beatrice Weder di Mauro held a talk entitled “Still too big to fail? The need for reform after the demise of Credit Suisse”. She was invited by the Bundesbank’s Research Centre, whose director, Falko Fecht, hosted the proceedings.  

Kirstin Hubrich explains the basics of financial stability and of this year’s Financial Stability Review.

The German financial system has weathered the exceptionally strong rise in interest rates well overall and has proved stable over the past months, the Bundesbank writes in its Financial Stability Review 2024. Credit risk is now increasingly coming under the spotlight, however. The financial system is facing acute challenges due to geopolitical tensions and a weak economy. The economy is also undergoing transformation, said Bundesbank Executive Board member Michael Theurer. Our top priority must be a resilient financial system.
