Refinancing of the bank

The lending business of the development bank is fully refinanced on the money and capital markets. To this end, the bank issues bonds or resorts to funds from financing agreements. The bank is legally limited.[5] For example, it may not enter into currency risks and has to conclude its business exclusively in Euros. The Aufbaubank enjoys the highest solvency rating[6] (Solva zero).
