EZA 649: Germany; Banking Sector




German banks – lending, Basle II and the shake-up of the public banking sector
.

SummaryBank lending survey shows distinct underperformance of credit demand in Germany, little changes from the supply side Weak GDP growth – probably below 1.5% in 2005 – heightens competition in the lending business Merger activity within the banking sectors advanced, hardly any cross-sector mergers Political pressure grows for opening the banking system for private capital, but privatisation of Landesbanks and savings banks is still a long haul
