Pressures facing the sector have intensified as many central banks push up their benchmark rates, leading to specific market dislocations. Mark Branson, president of the German regulator BaFin (Federal Financial Supervisory Authority), told CNBC that Germany has seen the same impacts from higher rates as many other nations around the world. He said that the German banking system "has taken some pain," but highlighted that there is "no systemic danger" and the financial system has managed to absorb the impacts of higher rates well. However, problems can arise when banks take on additional risk and fail to keep up with a continued and sharp increase in rates.

The Mercedes star logo is seen in front of the Mercedes-Benz customer center in Sindelfingen, southwestern Germany, on February 13, 2023. Mercedes-Benz Group on Friday beat analysts' forecasts with annual earnings of 20.5 billion euros ($21.80 billion), but the premium carmaker warned of lower earnings this year due to economic uncertainty. The company hit its forecast of a 13%-15% adjusted return on sales in the cars division, reporting a 14.6% margin for 2022. But it forecast a lower adjusted return of 12%-14% on sales for the cars division in 2023 and group earnings slightly below 2022, even though sales at the Mercedes-Benz Cars business are expected at the same level. Roughly 50% of the company's annual portfolio is financed, he said, meaning that higher rates will have an impact.
A "mild recession" is on the cards, according to Commerzbank CEO Manfred Knof. Commerzbank CEO Manfred Knof says the bank has prepared for an uplift in nonperforming loans, but the situation is "definitely not a disaster or default issue" as a "mild recession" is likely in the cards. "We have already made provisions but still at the moment we don't see a lot of issues ahead of us," Knof told CNBC's Annette Weisbach at the European Banking Congress in Frankfurt Friday. Nonperforming loans are bank loans likely to be repaid late or not in full and are also known as "bad debt." The chief economist at Berenberg, Holger Schmieding, told CNBC that consumer confidence had "plunged so badly that the recession will likely not be shallow."

De Guindos told CNBC the ECB will do "whatever is necessary" to tame inflation. It is crucial for the European Central Bank to convey its commitment to bringing prices down in order to keep inflation expectations anchored, according to its vice president. Luis de Guindos told CNBC's Annette Weisbach on Wednesday that the main risk of a wage-price spiral was the perception that the central bank's credibility was not strong enough. "That's why we are making such a commitment with price stability … and that we will do whatever is necessary in order to reduce inflation to the level that we consider as price stability, which is 2%," he said. Euro zone inflation is running at 10.7%, the highest level in the bloc's history, and the ECB has hiked its benchmark rate to 1.5%, a level not seen since 2009, before the sovereign debt crisis.
