    Im Rahmen seiner Rede äußerte sich Bundesbankpräsident Jens Weidmann auch zu den Beschlüssen des EZB-Rats vom 3. Dezember 2015

    "Lassen Sie mich kurz auf die heutige Entscheidung des EZB-Rats eingehen. Zunächst einmal: Die heute vorgelegten Stabsprojektionen des Eurosystems zeigen keine besorgniserregende wirtschaftliche Entwicklung im Euro-Raum. Sie bestätigen aus meiner Sicht vielmehr, dass der deutliche Rückgang der Energiepreise die Konjunkturerholung im Euro-Raum stützt. Der Energiepreisrückgang erklärt außerdem zu einem Gutteil die Entwicklung der Verbraucherpreise. Zwar ist die Euro-Abwertung der vergangenen Wochen stimulierend in die Prognose eingegangen, diese Abwertung ist aber nicht allein auf die erwartete Lockerung der Geldpolitik des Eurosystems zurückzuführen. Sie ist beispielsweise auch Folge von gefestigten Zinserhöhungserwartungen für die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika.

    Klar ist, dass die Preisentwicklung nach der Prognose im nächsten und wohl zum Teil auch im übernächsten Jahr unter unserer Norm für Preisstabilität liegen wird. Das sollte nicht leichtfertig zur Seite gewischt werden. Aber angesichts der dominanten Rolle des Energiepreisrückgangs für die Preisentwicklung im Euro-Raum und der bereits ergriffenen umfangreichen geldpolitischen Maßnahmen, die auch mit Risiken und Nebenwirkungen verbunden sein können, habe ich eine weitere Lockerung nicht für notwendig gehalten.  

    Phasen, in denen sinkende Energiepreise die Inflation zeitweilig in den negativen Bereich fallen ließen, hat es immer wieder gegeben: Zum Beispiel 1986/87, zu Zeiten von Karl Otto Pöhl, und die Geldpolitik tat gut daran, durch solche temporären Schocks hindurchzuschauen, solange es keine Hinweise für Zweitrundeneffekte gibt. Und die sehe ich derzeit nicht."

  • Consistency as a mandate Speech at the ceremony to commemorate “250 years of the Pfandbrief”
    28.11.2019 Berlin Jens Weidmann DE FR

    According to Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann, banks need to take adequate account of climate-related financial risks in their risk management. “If financing environmentally harmful projects were to become less attractive as a result, that would be a welcome side effect,” he said in a speech.

  • Continental drift? – Transatlantic economic relations in turbulent times Speech at the Council on Foreign Relations

    Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann warned that a full-blown trade war between the US and the EU could cost both sides dearly. "The adverse effects might be considerable larger than in case of the trade spat with China“, he said in a speech in New York.

  • Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann also used his speech to comment on the decisions taken by the ECB Governing Council at its meeting of 3 December 2015
    Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann also used his speech to comment on the decisions taken by the ECB Governing Council at its meeting of 3 December 2015

    "I would like, if I may, to say a few words about today's decision by the ECB Governing Council. First things first: the Eurosystem staff macroeconomic projections presented today give no cause for concern over the development of the euro-area economy. In fact, they confirm my view that the steep drop in energy prices is supporting the recovery of the euro area's economy. The lower energy prices also go a long way towards explaining the evolution of consumer price inflation. While the depreciation of the euro in recent weeks was seen as a stimulating factor in the staff projections, it did not come solely as a result of the expected loosening of the Eurosystem's monetary policy stance. It is also an outcome of firmer expectations of a policy rate hike in the USA, for instance.

    It's clear that inflation as forecast by the Eurosystem staff will fall short of our price stability target not only in 2016 but probably into 2017 as well. That's not something we should simply brush aside. But given the predominant role which the drop in energy prices plays in euro-area inflation and the extensive monetary policy measures that have already been taken – which can entail risks and side-effects of their own – I personally did not see any case for a further easing of monetary conditions.  

    There have always been phases in which falling energy prices allow inflation to drop temporarily into negative territory. One such spell was in 1986-87, in the days of Karl Otto Pöhl, and monetary policymakers were wise to look through such short-lived shocks as long as there were no signs of second-round effects. And I see no such indications at present."

  • Bankenunion und Regulierungsreformen: Mission erfüllt? Grundsatzrede auf dem 24. Europäischen Bankenkongress

    Bundesbankpräsident Jens Weidmann hat sich bei einer Rede anlässlich des European Banking Congress in Frankfurt am Main für eine stärkere Eigenkapitalbildung der Banken ausgesprochen. Mehr eigenes Geld erlaube es den Banken, Verluste besser zu verkraften. "Das macht das gesamte Finanzsystem stabiler und krisenfester", sagte Weidmann.

  • Tischrede Rede zum Jahresdinner 2014 der Deutsch-Britischen Industrie- und Handelskammer
    23.07.2014 London Jens Weidmann No English translation available

    Bundesbankpräsident Jens Weidmann hat sich für die Abschaffung einer bevorzugten regulatorischen Behandlung von Staatsanleihen ausgesprochen. Eine angemessene Risikogewichtung von Staatsanleihen in Bankbilanzen mache Institute widerstandsfähiger, sagte Weidmann vor Mitgliedern der deutsch-britischen Industrie- und Handelskammer in London. Grenzen für Großkredite sollten zudem künftig auch für Staatsschulden gelten. Staatsinsolvenzen müssten möglich sein, ohne das Finanzsystem als Ganzes zu gefährden, sagte Weidmann.

    "Permettez-moi de commenter brièvement la décision prise ce jour par le Conseil de la BCE. Tout d'abord, il faut dire que les projections présentées aujourd'hui par les experts de l'Eurosystème ne font pas montre d'une évolution économique inquiétante pour la zone euro. À mon avis, elles confirment plutôt que la nette baisse des prix de l'énergie soutient la reprise conjoncturelle dans la zone euro. Le recul des prix de l'énergie explique par ailleurs en bonne partie l'évolution des prix à la consommation. La dépréciation de l'euro intervenue au cours des dernières semaines a certes eu un effet stimulant sur les pronostics, mais elle n'est pas due uniquement à l'assouplissement attendu de la politique monétaire de l'Eurosystème. Elle s'explique aussi, entre autres, par le fait qu'une augmentation des taux d'intérêt aux États-Unis d'Amérique devient de plus en plus probable.

    Il ressort clairement des pronostics que l'évolution des prix se situera l'an prochain et en partie aussi l'année suivante en dessous de notre objectif en matière de stabilité des prix. Ce fait ne devrait pas être balayé à la légère. Mais compte tenu du rôle dominant que joue le recul des prix de l'énergie pour l'évolution des prix dans la zone euro et vu les nombreuses mesures de politique monétaire déjà prises, qui peuvent également comporter des risques et des effets secondaires, j'ai considéré qu'un nouvel assouplissement monétaire n'était pas nécessaire. 

    Il y a toujours eu des périodes au cours desquelles une baisse du prix de l'énergie a temporairement fait tomber l'inflation en dessous de zéro : cela fut le cas par exemple en 1986/87, à l'époque de la présidence de Karl Otto Pöhl, et la politique monétaire avait bien fait de ne pas tenir compte de tels chocs temporaires tant qu'il n'y a pas de signes d'effets secondaires. Et, pour le moment, je n'en perçois pas."
