Handling of security and defence financing by KfW Group
For decades, KfW has contributed largely to crisis prevention and peaceful conflict management, as well as to the strategic autonomy and resilience of Europe. Regarding KfW’s financing for the security and defence industry (SDI) or armaments, we see ourselves with a double responsibility:
Hydrogen core network: an investment in the future for Germany
Germany must become climate-neutral. To achieve this, it is necessary to replace fossil fuels with climate-neutral fuels. One solution is the development of a hydrogen infrastructure. This is a key component of the German government's national hydrogen strategy. As the financier of a new instrument, KfW is driving forward the development of a hydrogen core network. The core network is indispensable for the decarbonisation of the energy supply and important branches of industry.
The raw materials fund as a building block of a resilient and innovative economy
Ensuring a sustainable supply of raw materials is one of the key foundations for the German economy, the digital transformation and the achievement of climate targets. That is why the German Federal Government has decided to set up a raw materials fund to strengthen the supply of raw materials to German companies as well as increase the resilience of supply chains and of the country's economy as a whole. KfW serves as the central point of contact for the raw materials fund.
