Deutsche Bank's transaction business drives record growth
Deutsche Bank posted its highest profits since 2007 following a strategic overhaul in 2019—strong transaction banking performance in Asia Pacific and data-driven technology investments have increased profitability
Deutsche Bank believes a strong transaction banking performance in Asia Pacific (APAC) played a significant role in lifting the group’s income in 2022.
This is largely the culmination of two key long-term strategies: focusing on and doing more with key large corporate and multinational corporation customers, and emphasising the growing importance of data-driven businesses.
Matthew Moodey, the APAC head of trade finance, lending and structuring, explained that the bank’s structuring capability is built on its deep knowledge and experience across the 15 markets and jurisdictions in the region. This enables Deutsche Bank to identify and advise on key global and regional market trends, such as regional project financing deals related to the commodity super-cycle, decarbonisation, new economy and new materials.
