Dear readers
We are delighted to present the new edition of the VIB Yearbook “PERSPECTIVES 2026” in its digital form.
This year’s edition is also bilingual – in English and German.
We would like to thank everyone who contributed to it. Special thanks goes to
Lars Klingbeil, Federal Minister of Finance, Vice-Chancellor and Member of the German Bundestag, for his greetings.
The yearbook primarily contains contributions from VIB speakers, the VIB Expert Advisory Boards and the VIB Tax Policy Group on the topics of regulation, tax law and banking infrastructure, with a focus on current developments.
Please feel free to share our yearbook with anyone who might be interested. We will also be happy to send you a printed copy on request while supplies last.
We hope you enjoy reading it.
Your VIB Team
