Biggest problem was hyperinflation in 1923.
Stresemann abolished existing currency and setting up new, temporary one, the Rentenmark. The new notes were trusted because if the currency failed, the government promised to exchange them for shares in German land or industry.
By August 1924, Stresemann was able to replace the Rentenmark with a new, permanent currency, the Reichsmark. It was controlled by a new independent national bank, the Reichsbank.
Effect - confidence rose in currency and banking system.
Deposits in German bank rose from 900m marks at the start of 1924, to 4,900m marks at the end of 1926.
