Financial buffers enable Bundesbank to achieve balanced financial result
23.02.2024 DE
Last year, the Bundesbank’s annual accounts were shaped by the increase in the key interest rates. For the 2023 financial year, the Bundesbank reports a balanced financial result because it was able to use its financial buffers to cushion burdens in the double-digit billions. To this end, the Bundesbank released its risk provisions in full and reduced its reserves.
We expect the burdens to be considerable again for the current year. They are likely to exceed the remaining reserves

House prices fell significantly in 2023; more pressure on rents
20.02.2024 DE
House prices in Germany fell significantly in 2023, according to the Bundesbank’s current Monthly Report. Residential properties were no longer affordable for many people owing to high inflation and increased interest rates. Demand for housing declined, increasingly shifting to the rental market,
and the already high inflation in rents saw a significant further acceleration,
the economists write. Overvaluations in the real estate market came down in 2023, but were not fully eliminated. The authors therefore believe that there is still a certain risk of price corrections. -
