On 16 November 2016, Bundesbank Vice-President Claudia Buch and Executive Board member Andreas Dombret presented the Bundesbank's Financial Stability Review in Frankfurt am Main. The press conference was streamed live on the internet.

Some households contribute only a small amount of equity when buying property financed by a loan. If they then default on the loan, lenders may incur losses. Should the problem affect a large number of lenders, this could potentially jeopardise financial stability. Minimum requirements for the own funds households need to provide can limit losses that may arise. However, this would mean that some households can no longer obtain loans in the desired amount. A Bundesbank study shows that a large proportion of the households interested in buying which would be affected by this are then willing to buy a cheaper property or to save more in order to buy at a later date. The impact on homeownership is therefore likely to be smaller in the medium than in the short term.

The Deutsche Bundesbank has invited Italy's Minister of Economy and Finance Pier Carlo Padoan to speak at the Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main on 21 October 2016 on the subject of potential measures to stimulate economic growth and employment in periods of political and strategic uncertainty.
