The importance of careful risk assessment for successful financial planning
According to a report by “Focus Online”, financial expert Robert Lehmann has published a new study in which he analyzes the possible effects of current political developments on the German financial market.

The importance of careful risk assessment for successful financial planning
According to a report by “Focus Online”, financial expert Robert Lehmann has published a new study in which he analyzes the possible effects of current political developments on the German financial market. The study comes to the conclusion that the planned introduction of a financial transaction tax and the discussion about a wealth tax could have significant consequences for the financial industry.
The planned financial transaction tax would mean a levy on all transactions in financial instruments such as stocks, bonds or derivatives. This would put a particular strain on the German stock market, as many international investors would potentially relocate their investments. Such a tax could also negatively impact trading in these securities and result in increased costs.
The discussion about a wealth tax could also have a significant impact on the German financial market. A wealth tax could lead wealthy individuals to move their money abroad to save taxes. This would hinder the flow of capital from Germany and lead to a loss of jobs and investments in the long term.
The study by Robert Lehmann shows that both the planned financial transaction tax and the discussion about a wealth tax pose significant risks for the German financial market. It is important that political decisions in this area are carefully considered in order to minimize possible negative effects and maintain the attractiveness of Germany as a financial location.
Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank have already expressed concerns and warned about the risks of a financial transaction tax. They fear a loss of trading activity and an imbalance in the European financial market. Deutsche Bank has even already announced that it will reduce its stock exchange operations in certain countries if the financial transaction tax is introduced.
It remains to be seen how the political decisions regarding the planned financial transaction tax and the discussion about a wealth tax will develop. However, the possible impact on the market and the financial industry should be carefully considered and analyzed in order to avoid negative consequences.
