We are striving to make regulation clearer, more understandable and more efficient – while continuing to safeguard the stability of the banking system, said Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel at the Bundesbank’s 13th regulatory conference in Frankfurt. At the conference, representatives from banks and securities and insurance companies joined policymakers to discuss current opportunities and challenges for the financial industry and supervisors in Germany.

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.

The ongoing monitoring of institutions also includes conducting on-site inspections. These give the Bundesbank deeper insights into institutions’ risk structures and the procedures they use to control risk. The Bundesbank’s supervisors investigate whether the internal risk measurement methods which institutions use to calculate their capital requirements can be approved.

The Münze Deutschland is the official Sales Agency for collector coins of the Federal Republic of Germany. Editor of the German coins is the Federal Ministry of Finance.

Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel used an interview with the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung” newspaper to share his views on the ECB’s latest interest rate decision, inflation and the digital euro. Commenting on European monetary policy, Nagel said, In these uncertain times, we are not going to change our winning formula: We are not pre-committing to a particular rate path but look at the incoming data and make a decision on that basis at the respective monetary policy meeting. He sees positive effects for Germany from rising investment in Germany on infrastructure and defence.
