Die Deutsche Bundesbank startet die bundesweite Veranstaltungsreihe „Bits & Bargeld – wie bezahlen wir morgen?“. In verschiedenen Städten Deutschlands möchte sich die Bundesbank mit Bürgerinnen und Bürgern sowie Einzelhändlern und Unternehmern über die Zukunft des Bezahlens austauschen. 

By way of majority, the National Cash Forum advocates rounding up or down to the nearest 5 euro cent for cash payments in Germany. The Federal Ministry of Finance is called upon to advocate for, and press ahead with, a binding statutory rounding rule in Germany. The rounding rule should be applied across Europe as uniformly as possible.

Hauke und Thomas berichten über ihre Erfahrungen in einem agilen Arbeitsumfeld und welche Skills hierfür aus ihrer Sicht wichtig sind.

Various fake reports, advertisements, photos and videos in connection with the Bundesbank are circulating on the internet and social media. In addition, fraudsters are impersonating Bundesbank staff on the phone, in emails and letters and requesting, for example, that personal data be handed over or payments be made. The Bundesbank is providing important pointers on this topic to help recipients identify such fake reports and attempted fraud. 

Germany is facing major challenges. Smart, consistent and reliable economic policy could set out the framework and unleash the sense of change we now need, Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel commented. In a speech at the Berlin School of Economics, Mr Nagel presented twelve points that he believes are key to boosting growth in Germany. For each set of topics, he examined four points: for an increased supply of labour, for the necessary transition towards net zero, and for a more dynamic corporate sector.
