The recommendations are the starting point for the actual implementation. Germany’s federal government must play a central role here, by creating the necessary frameworks and incentives, and setting the right example in this area. The financial system must be geared towards enabling a successful macroeconomic transformation.

As a forward-looking industrial nation, Germany is focussed on the transformation of the real economy and takes a holistic view of sustainable finance. This approach makes Germany stand out from some other financial centres that are geared purely towards financial products.
