Germany's largest bank, Deutsche Bank? No wait it says "KFW" in headlines which is actually Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (German Reconstruction Fund) not to be confused with Commerzbank. The March 27 reports confirm KfW increased its funding operations significantly even though profits are shrinking due to high interest rates affecting mortgage and business loans across Germany's construction sector, small businesses? Wait let me check the text again: "Zinsen" means Interest Rates in German context here referring specifically how they affect borrowers.
