Goethe University Frankfurt has appointed Bundesbank Executive Board member Fritzi Köhler-Geib as an honorary professor. Dr Köhler-Geib has been teaching master level courses in international and development economics/economic policy within the university’s economics and business department since 2021. She will continue to provide students on her courses, which focus on the intersection of financial markets and the real economy, with her practice-oriented perspective on policy measures to support economic growth and transformation processes.

I look forward to continuing to teach at Goethe University and, in that capacity, building a bridge between central banking, policy consulting and academia, Dr Köhler-Geib said upon her appointment as honorary professor. I am inspired by working with such bright and motivated students!
