We examine the impact of introducing a digital euro, as currently conceptualized in the proposal by the European Commission, on the liquidity situation of banks in Germany. The analyses are the basis for assessing the effects of a digital euro on banks' liquidity, as presented in the 11th Annual...

Since 2014, several countries have implemented the Basel III countercyclical capital buffer (CCyB) to enhance the banking sector's resilience against risks arising from excessive credit growth.
