The German Financial System by Jan P. Krahnen,Reinhard H. Schmidt Pdf
This book is both a reference book on Germany's financial system and a contribution to the economic debate about its status at the beginning of the twenty-first century. In giving a comprehensive account of the many facets of the system, it covers corporate governance, relationship lending, stock market development, investor protection, the venture capital industry, and the accounting system, and reports on monetary transmission and the credit channel, regulation and banking competition, the insurance and investment industry, and mergers and acquisitions. Special chapters at the beginning and at the end of the book adopt the financial system perspective, analysing the mutual fit of different features of the financial system; and each of the fifteen chapters addresses particular myths that surround it. The book is invaluable for those who want to understand the German economy and its financial system, promising not only a compilation of facts and statistics on Germany's financial markets and institutions, but also an analysis of its current structure and the determinants of its future development.
The German Financial System and the Financial and Economic Crisis by Daniel Detzer,Nina Dodig,Trevor Evans,Eckhard Hein,Hansjörg Herr,Franz Josef Prante Pdf
This book provides an up-to-date overview of the development of the German financial system, with a particular focus on financialization and the financial crisis, topics that have increasingly gained attention since the crisis and the discussion on the secular stagnation started. The authors of the book—economists who have conducted extensive research in this area—offer a perspective on the financial system in the context of its importance for the overall economic system. The book not only provides detailed insights into Germany’s financial system; it also takes a broader perspective on finance and connects it with current macroeconomic developments in Germany.

Germany by International Monetary Fund. Monetary and Capital Markets Department Pdf
This paper evaluates the risks and vulnerabilities of the German financial system and reviews both the German regulatory and supervisory framework and implementation of the common European framework insofar as it is relevant for Germany. The country is home to two global systemically important financial institutions, Deutsche Bank AG and Allianz SE. The system is also very heterogeneous, with a range of business models and a large number of smaller banks and insurers. The regulatory landscape has changed profoundly with strengthened solvency and liquidity regulations for banks (the EU Capital Requirements Regulation and Directive IV), and the introduction of macroprudential tools.

The german financial system by Tobias Albrecht Pdf
Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Economics - Finance, grade: 1,0, University of Massachusetts Boston, language: English, abstract: As widely recognized, financial systems play an important role for economic growth. The German as well as the American economy seemed to be both very successful over the last decade in terms of GDP growth. Although both economies are successful, their financial systems differ widely. While the American system is strongly capital market-based, banks play the dominant role in the German financial system. As it was for a long time a purely bank-based system, it represented a unique financial system around the world. In this paper, I will point out the main features of the traditional German financial system. I will mainly focus on the role and structure of the financial sector, financing patterns of firms, and the German corporate governance system. So far, most academic literature has concentrated on the peculiarities of the “old” German financial system. In the following paper, recent developments will also be included. Major changes and trends of the German financial system since the begin-nings of the 2000s will be outlined, leading to the question if the system underwent a process of transformation from a bank-based to a capital market-based financial system. I will begin with a brief summary of the basic definitions, concepts and classifications that are necessary to describe and analyze the German financial system. In chapter 3, the “old” German financial system, called an international prototype of a bank-based system, is outlined. After ex-plaining the main elements of the “old” German financial system focusing on the financial sector, financing patterns of firms and the corporate governance system, recent changes and develop-ments since the 2000s will follow in chapter 4. Within chapter 4, the current state of the German financial system will be described with an emphasis on developments that could have led to a transformation to a capital market-based system. This description leads to the conclusion in chapter 5 that the German financial system has not transformed to capital market-based system and kept its unique peculiarities but is no longer a purely bank-based financial system.
Banks, Finance and Investment in Germany by Jeremy Edwards,Klaus Fischer Pdf
This book analyses the widely-held view of the merits of the 'bank-based' German system of finance for investment, and shows that this view is not supported by evidence from the post-war period. The institutional features of the German system are such that universal banks have control of voting rights at shareholders' meetings due to proxy votes, and they also have representation on companies' supervisory boards. These features are claimed to have two main benefits. One is that the German system reduces asymmetric information problems, enabling banks to supply more external finance to firms at a lower cost, and thus increasing investment. The other is that German banks are able to mould and control managements of firms on behalf of shareholders, and thus ensure that firms are run efficiently. This book assesses whether empirical evidence backs up these claims, and shows that the merits of the German system are largely myths.

This Technical Note focuses on banking sector structure in Germany. Germany’s banking system comprises three “pillars”—private commercial banks, public sector banks, and cooperative banks—distinguished by the ownership structure and business orientation. The German banking system includes a large number of institutions in both absolute and relative terms. This note describes the evolution of Germany’s three-pillar banking system. It analyzes capitalization, credit and the intermediation of savings, and bank profitability and efficiency. It also examines the benefits of public involvement and governance in the banking system.

Germany by International Monetary Fund. Monetary and Capital Markets Department Pdf
This paper assesses Germany’s financial system and, in particular, its potential for spillover risk. The analysis comprises structural and financial statement analyses, detailed stress tests for banks and insurance companies, and spillover risk analysis. Solvency and liquidity stress tests cover all 1,776 banks operating in Germany, and insurance-sector analysis covers 93 percent of the life insurance sector in terms of the assets. Germany is highly interconnected through trade and financial channels. The total consolidated claims of German banks on foreign banks, nonbank private sector, and public sector stood at about $1.7 trillion in the second quarter of 2015, with the majority of cross-border exposures vis-à-vis France, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Banking and Finance in West Germany (RLE Banking & Finance) by Hans Hermann Francke,Michael Hudson Pdf
This is a clear guide to the German financial system. It begins by outlining its historical development, emphasising the growth of close ties between the banking system and industry, and goes on to describe in details the nature of the credit institutions in general and the money and capital markets. The book emphasizes the crucial role played by the autonomy of the Bundesbank and it explains with clear illustrations the instruments available to it to conduct monetary policy. It analyses the type of monetary target adopted by the Bundesbank in the early 1970s and deals with the ‘transferability’ of the West German financial system to other countries. Wherever relevant, parallels and differences between that system and the ones operating in the US and UK are pointed out.

The German financial system is complex and highly diversified. The second most important class of financial institutions is insurance and pension companies. Germany has taken steps to enhance accounting and auditing practices and to align corporate governance with best international practices. The German banking system is resilient, but relevant indicators show some deterioration. The main vulnerability facing all sectors of the insurance industry is the pressure on capital ratios and risk-bearing capacity from the poor performance of investment portfolios. Securities regulation is of a high standard.

This paper focuses on the current state of the principal markets for nondeposit based funding for German financial institutions. A key finding is that although the current level of liquidity of the banking system is abundant, underpinned by active central bank support, the resilience of liquidity in some bank funding markets appears weaker than in the past. The financial system is dominated by banks and is generally sound and robust to shocks. The German banking system consists of a large number of banks in three main pillars: private commercial banks, public sector banks, and cooperative banks (accounting for 39 percent, 27 percent, and 14 percent, respectively of total banking system assets).
