In Dortmund hat die Bundesbank die Grundsteinlegung für ihre neue Filiale feierlich begangen. Im Jahr 2019 wird der neue Standort die Wirtschaft im Ruhrgebiet mit Bargeld versorgen.

The turn of the year saw Executive Board member Sabine Mauderer take office as Chair of the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS), a global group of central banks and supervisory authorities committed to forging a more sustainable financial system.

The Bundesbank’s economists have examined how climate action affects the value of stock corporations. The outcome under the assumptions made was that a large proportion of the corporations under review did not suffer major equity price losses as a consequence of their direct greenhouse gas emissions, even for a sharp rise in carbon prices. By contrast, shares in companies whose greenhouse gas emissions cause them high costs in relation to their dividends suffer large losses. Stock corporations whose business centres around fossil energy sources are hardest hit.

The new Bundesbank branch in Dortmund is taking over the cash supply for the entire Rhine-Ruhr region. It is the Bundesbank’s largest and most modern branch. In future, around 200 members of staff employed there will supply 12 million people with banknotes and coins. The new branch will replace the five existing branches in the region.

Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann has warned against ignoring the uncertainty surrounding future price developments. “We also need to keep an eye on the risks to the price outlook. In my view, the risks are tilted to the upside right now,” he said at the Bundesbank symposium “Banking supervision in dialogue”.

Every four years, the Executive Board of the Bundesbank adopts a new strategy. Here you will find the principles of Strategy 2024 as well as the Bank's mission statement, which serves as a long-term orientation framework and forms the basis for the medium-term strategy.
