Financial Stability Review

The Financial Stability Review contains the Bundesbank’s analyses and evaluations of the stability of Germany’s financial system. It gives an account of the principal risks arising from the international environment and the risk situation of the German financial system. It also provides detailed analyses of the risk situation both in the German banking sector and also elsewhere in the financial system, such as in the insurance and investment fund sector. Furthermore, some of the Bundesbank’s Financial Stability Reviews contain special chapters dedicated to current financial stability issues. The Deutsche Bundesbank presented its Financial Stability Review as a standalone publication for the first time in November 2005 after publishing the two previous reviews in December 2003 and October 2004 as part of its Monthly Report.

    Low interest rates and an ample supply of central bank liquidity have helped to ease the tensions on the international financial markets.

    The European sovereign debt crisis remains the greatest threat to financial stability in Germany. The Bundesbank considers that a substantial worsening of the situation would have a significant adverse impact on German banks and insurers. In addition, low interest rates, high liquidity and potential exaggerations in the German real estate market could pose a future threat to financial stability.
