Context News

Deutsche Bank reported Q3 net income of E1.4bn, up from E414m a year ago. The figure included E369m of net tax benefits related mainly to audit settlements for prior years. Sales and trading revenue for the quarter was E3.1bn, Deutsche’s best ever for a third quarter.

“Looking ahead, we see challenges and opportunities in the environment,” chief executive Josef Ackermann said. “We are well-prepared for both.”

Deutsche’s Tier 1 capital ratio was 11.7%, its core Tier 1 ratio 8.1%.

The bank has reached a deal to buy German wealth management firm Sal. Oppenheim and has tentatively agreed to acquire commercial banking assets from Dutch-nationalised ABN Amro.
