Konsultation 14/2020 – Mindestanforderungen an das Risikomanagement der Bundesanstalt
für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht (BaFin)

Did German banks take on a particularly high level of risk during the financial crisis by investing in risky government bonds? A new study examines the behaviour of German banks between 2008 and 2014 and reveals that German banks – especially those that received government support and were comparatively undercapitalised – de-risked. This finding contrasts with the results of similar studies for banks in the euro area periphery countries.
