The purpose of prudential liquidity regulations is to ensure that institutions are liquid at all times. Quantitative provisions for liquidity were introduced into European law for the first time by the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR, Regulation (EU) No 575/2013), in keeping with the Basel liquidity framework. The two Basel minimum standards (LCR, NSFR) and the additional monitoring metrics (AMM) were implemented by means of appropriate implementing technical standards and/or revised by Regulation (EU) 2019/876, which amended the CRR.

In calendar-adjusted terms, it found that economic growth amounted to 2.0%. “In 2022, the overall economic situation in Germany was affected by the consequences of the war in Ukraine and the extremely high energy price increases,” said Dr Ruth Brand, President of the Federal Statistical Office since 1 January 2023, at a press conference.
