The Executive Board of the Deutsche Bundesbank did not raise any objections to the nomination of Dr Fritzi Köhler-Geib as a member of the Executive Board. The outcome of the consultation has been communicated to the Bundesrat.

German credit institutions’ performance improved significantly in 2023, according to the current issue of the Bundesbank’s Monthly Report. At €48.7 billion, aggregate profit for the financial year before tax increased considerably, up by nearly 80 % on the year. All categories of banks posted higher profits for the 2023 financial year than they had done in 2022. This development was driven in large part by the significant increase in net interest income resulting from the Eurosystem’s key interest rate hikes.

To date, European climate policy has not yet led to widespread relocations of energy-intensive production abroad by domestic firms, the Bundesbank concludes in its latest Monthly Report. In this, the economists examine the impact of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) on the foreign direct investment decisions taken by German manufacturing sector enterprises. The experts conclude that favourable framework conditions that encourage innovation in low-emissions technologies are needed in order to prevent domestic production from being relocated in the future, too.
