### Summary
- The Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) conducted a focused review that primarily assessed banking regulation and supervision of Germany’s less significant institutions (LSIs).
- Germany accounts for 1,324 of about 2,400 total LSIs in the Euro Area.
- These LSIs represent 40 percent of Germany’s banking sector assets and approximately 55 per cent of total Euro Area LSI assets.
- As Germany is part of the Euro Area, the regulation and supervision of banks takes place within the European Central Bank’s (ECB) Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM).
- The Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) and the Deutsche Bundesbank (BBk) are responsible, under the oversight of the ECB, for the supervision of LSIs.
