The February 2018 edition of the Monthly Report comments on the economic situation in Germany in winter 2017/2018. 

The information contained in the study is of interest to all market participants affected by the payment behaviour of private individuals, most notably retailers, credit institutions, card issuers and, last but not least, the Deutsche Bundesbank itself. Players wishing to foster more innovation in the field of payments need to offer a genuine advantage over established schemes and procedures and, in particular, to heed users’ perceived security needs.

The April 2023 Monthly Report describes the relationship between money market conditions and the remuneration of government deposits. It also presents the results of the new household wealth survey. In addition, it discusses the impact of the current crises on international payments and how sustainability risks are factored into banking supervision.
