Die Europäische Zentralbank (EZB) lädt alle Europäerinnen und Europäer dazu ein, über die Themen für die nächste Serie von Euro-Banknoten abzustimmen. In der Zeit vom 10. Juli bis zum 31. August 2023 können alle Interessierten aus dem Euroraum dazu an einer Umfrage auf der EZB-Website teilnehmen.

German economic output is likely to have gone up slightly again in the second quarter of 2023, according to the Monthly Report. Private consumption has stabilised after previously having fallen. According to the experts, the fact that the labour market remained in good shape, wages rose sharply and price inflation did not continue to accelerate contributed to this development. Meanwhile, the decline in foreign demand was a drag on industry and the rise in funding costs dampened domestic investment. The Bundesbank is expecting the economy to recover haltingly later in the year.

The G20 finance ministers and central bank governors are set to meet in Gandhinagar, India, from 17 to 18 July. Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel will attend the two-day meeting, which will focus on issues including the current situation in the global economy, sustainability in the financial system and the regulation of crypto-assets.
