Economy outlook

The Association of German Banks pays particular attention to and analyses the economy, financial market developments and interest rate policies from the European Central Bank (ECB). Banks play an important role in financing the economy and act as a central link between the economy and the financial markets. Stable financial markets and a reliable economic environment are decisive. By carefully observing and analysing economic developments and monetary policy, we can publish timely information on the effects they have on the stability and performance of the financial sector. Doing so allows us to provide guidance on economic policy, which is useful not just for the banks, but also for private individuals and businesses, those with savings, those who have borrowed money and investors. This in turn strengthens sustainable development for our economy and improves Germany’s ability to compete on a global stage.
