Many people in Germany are open to the idea of the digital euro. At the same time, there are still gaps in the general public’s knowledge about the planned new means of payment. These are the results of a recent representative survey of 2,012 people conducted by forsa, a market research and opinion polling company, on behalf of the Deutsche Bundesbank in April 2024. 

Anzahl der Zweigstellen von Banken in den meisten EU-Mitgliedstaaten weiter gesunken (um durchschnittlich 3,09 %). Zahl der Bankbeschäftigten im Schnitt um 0,81 % zurückgegangen. Konzentrationsgrad im Bankensektor weiterhin von Land zu Land sehr unterschiedlich.
 

The Bundesbank sees the German economy slowly regaining its footing after a roughly two-year period of weakness. Not only will private consumption gradually pick up again, but export business will also improve again from the second half of the year. “The German economy is extricating itself from the period of economic weakness,” Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel said on publication of the current Forecast for Germany. According to the forecast, real gross domestic product (GDP) will rise by a calendar-adjusted 0.3% this year.
