Vag Merkel hoppas på lösning på Deutsches kris
Tysklands i övrigt tystlåtne förbundskansler Angela Merkel uttryckte på en presskonferens förhoppningar om att Deutsche Bank ska komma på fötter igen.
– Jag vill bara säga att Deutsche Bank är en del av den tyska bank- och finanssektorn. Självklart hoppas vi att alla företag, även om de genomgår tillfälliga svårigheter, ska utvecklas i rätt riktning, sade hon enligt Reuters och tillade att hon inte tänkte kommentera frågan ytterligare.
Uttalandet följer på ett klargörande från Deutsche om att banken inte anser sig behöva några statliga nödpengar. Bankens framtid har emellertid beskrivits som en känslig fråga för Merkel, som dessutom kommer olägligt inför nästa års federala val i Tyskland.

It has more than 100,000 employees in over 70 countries, and has a large presence in Europe, the Americas, Asia-Pacific and the emerging markets. In 2009, Deutsche Bank was the largest foreign exchange dealer in the world with a market share of 21 percent. The company was a component of the STOXX Europe 50 stock market index until being delisted on August 8th, 2016.
The bank offers financial products and services for corporate and institutional clients along with private and business clients. Deutsche Bank’s core business is investment banking, which represents 50% of equity, 75% of leverage assets and 50% of profits. Services include sales, trading, research and origination of debt and equity; mergers and acquisitions (M&A); risk management products, such as derivatives, corporate finance, wealth management, retail banking, fund management, and transaction banking.
On 7 June 2015, the then co-CEOs, Juergen Fitschen and Anshu Jain, both offered their resignations to the bank's supervisory board, which were accepted. Anshu Jain's resignation took effect on 30 June 2015, but he provided consultancy to the bank until January 2016. Juergen Fitschen temporarily continued as joint CEO until 19 May 2016. The appointment of John Cryan as joint CEO was announced, effective 1 July 2016; he became sole CEO at the end of Juergen Fitschen's term.
In January 2014 Deutsche Bank reported a €1.2 billion ($1.6 billion) pre-tax loss for the fourth quarter of 2013. This came after analysts had predicted a profit of nearly €600 million, according to FactSet estimates. Revenues slipped by 16% versus the prior year.
In January 2016, Deutsche Bank pre-announced a 2015 loss before income taxes of approximately €6.1 billion and a net loss of approximately €6.7 billion. Following this announcement, a bank analyst at Citi declared: "We believe a capital increase now looks inevitable and see an equity shortfall of up to €7 billion, on the basis that Deutsche may be forced to book another €3 billion to €4 billion of litigation charges in 2016."
According to the Scorpio Partnership Global Private Banking Benchmark 2014 the company had US$384.1bn of assets under management, an increase of 13.7% on 2013.
