Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel believes that a further rise in interest rates will be necessary. Be that as it may, he told the audience at the Bundesbank symposium “Banking supervision in dialogue”, how high they still need to go was impossible to say at this point in time – it would depend on how on inflation developed, which he saw as being highly uncertain. Bundesbank Vice-President Claudia Buch referred to the many challenges for banks posed by the trends of digitalisation, demographics, decarbonisation and deglobalisation. BaFin President Mark Branson warned of greenwashing in the financial sector.
