The central banks of Germany and the Netherlands reported large annual losses on February 23, saying this was driven by interest rates’ impact on securities.  

The Deutsche Bundesbank reported a loss of around €20.3 billion ($22 billion) in 2023, while the Netherlands Bank (DNB) said it had lost almost €3.5 billion. The news may lead to controversy over the balance sheets of the national central banks in two of the eurozone’s most fiscally conservative countries.
