In some sectors in Germany, a small number of specialised IT service providers serve a large proportion of banks and insurers. That is why this year BaFin is paying particular attention to the risks that emerge from this kind of market concentration, the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) says in a report.

BaFin has identified a total of seven risks that it considers most capable of jeopardising the financial stability or the integrity of the German financial system. It will pay particularly close attention to these risks in 2024. The report “Risks in BaFin’s Focus” also details the action BaFin is taking to mitigate these risks.
