Analysis

Alongside the heuristic knowledge gained empirically by experts, modern payment policy and payment systems oversight increasingly also draw on economic analyses in the form of quantitative studies. This is why the Bundesbank also carries out application-oriented analyses with the aim of preparing the groundwork for decisions and creating a better understanding of the systems in use and participant behaviour. In addition to carrying out manifold internal analyses, the Bundesbank also participates in relevant public debates of an academic nature via presentations and publications.
