NPL & Distressed Assets
Germany
Sourcing Opportunistic deals in the German Distressed Market:
an international meeting of Buyers & Sellers
Frankfurt  •  25 June 2026
Bringing together key players in the DACH market

Since the beginning of 2023, Germany has seen its NPL stock increase by more than €14bn, with the ratio of Stage 2 Loans rising to as much as 15.9%.

Driven by distress in the corporate sector, and with the epicentre being Commercial Real Estate, new opportunities have arisen for Distressed and Special Situations Investors seeking to acquire assets at discounted prices.
