Development Banks in Germany Industry Data and Analysis
The industry players are the development banks of the federal and state governments. In the years between 2020 and 2025, the industry recorded average annual revenue growth of 14.8%. This positive development is largely due to the expansion of development programmes during the coronavirus pandemic. Measures such as liquidity loans, investment aid and crisis programmes led to exceptionally high volumes. Turnover of €46 billion is forecast for 2025, which corresponds to a decline of 3.9% compared to 2024. The observed decline is due to the normalisation following pandemic-related peaks and the expiry of numerous special programmes. Development banks are therefore returning to a stable long-term development business. Income is mainly generated from interest income, supplemented by marginal commission components. The low-interest phase and the expiry of higher-interest legacy loans have reduced the level of income without diminishing the strategic importance of the development banks for financing socially relevant projects.
