The Deutsche Bundesbank participates in ongoing banking
supervision. Its participation is governed by § 7 of the German
Banking Act (Kreditwesengesetz – KWG).
Among other things,
the Bundesbank analyzes the reports and returns that institu-
tions have to submit on a regular basis and assesses whether
their capital and risk management procedures are adequate.
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision is exerting an
increasing infuence on banking supervision. Germany has imple-
mented the recommendations of the Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision (e. G. Basel II) via German Banking Act (KWG), Regula-
tion Governing Solvency (SolvV), and Minimum Requirements for
Risk Management (MaRisk).
Other recommendations (e. G. Basel
III) and EU standards (e. G. Solvency II) will be implemented in the
near future.
