Bundesbank Executive Board member Andreas Dombret is not expecting a financial market crisis following the UK's vote to leave the EU. At an event in Frankfurt am Main, he noted that, even though it was impossible to rule out further movements in prices or shifts of funds from one asset class to another, "a panic reaction to Brexit is rather unlikely at present".

Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann expects Brexit to place a strain on Germany's economy. It is in the interests of both parties, he says, for the EU and the United Kingdom to quickly enter into level-headed negotiations on their future relationship.

From the point of view of Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann, there is no need to loosen the accommodative monetary policy any further.

At the Bundesbank’s Spring Conference with the title “Monetary, financial and fiscal stability” Jens Weidmann stressed the need for a better understanding of the interplay of different policy areas to achieve and maintain macroeconomic stability.
