Christoph Memmel is a Research Professor at the Deutsche Bundesbank's Directorate General Financial Stability. His research focuses on interbank contagion, market price risk of banks, and the behavior of bank management. He holds a Ph.D. in economics and has extensive experience in financial stability analysis and banking sector risk assessment. Memmel leads the Bundesbank's research on interest rate risk exposure, bank risk management strategies, and systemic risk dynamics. His work integrates quantitative methods with regulatory analysis to inform central bank policies.

Key research areas include:

• Interest rate risk and liquidity management in banking
• Interbank market stability and contagion mechanisms

Memmel's recent publications analyze how banks forecast risk exposures, manage net interest margins, and adapt to monetary policy shifts. His findings highlight the importance of hedging strategies and regulatory thresholds in mitigating systemic risk. He collaborates with international institutions on stress testing and macroprudential policy design.
