Landwirtschaftliche Rentenbank (Germany)

The Landwirtschaftliche Rentenbank, founded in 1949, is well-known for offering low-interest loans to Germany's agricultural commercial businesses and organizations, as well as its linked industries. As a sign of its significance, it is safeguarded by the German state through Anstaltslast, with the government serving as guarantee.

The majority of its investment comes from foreign capital markets, and it is then invested in private firms in the aforementioned agricultural sector (especially those working in organic and renewable energy projects), as well as public programs in rural regions. It has also made significant investments in the German food business. With assets of little more than €103 billion as of 2020, the bank is supervised by the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority and the German Central Bank (Deutsche Bundesbank).
