Stabilisation Measures

The Economic Stabilisation Fund (ESF) was established by law in March 2020 to counteract the economic and social impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the national economy. In November 2022, the purpose of the ESF was expanded to include the financing of the package of measures to mitigate the consequences of the energy crisis.

The Financial Market Stabilisation Fund (FMS), often referred to publicly as ‘SoFFin’ or the ‘Bank Rescue Fund’, was established by the German government in October 2008 in response to the financial market crisis.
