Deutsche Bank

What do Mercedes-Benz AG and Deutsche Bank have in common? Nearly a century of shared history!   Those who follow our CEO Christian Sewing might have seen his latest post about his conversation with Ola Källenius, CEO of Mercedes-Benz AG in our new internal series of talks. Christian and Ola spoke about the state of the German economy, China, EVs and how to keep the innovative spirit alive. Christian also gave Ola a letter written in 1899 praising Carl Benz, illustrating our long history together, which we wanted to recap:   ⏳ In 1890 a precursor of Deutsche Bank became a shareholder of Daimler. 🔗 In 1904 Deutsche Bank directly acquired shares in Daimler and played a key role in the 1926 merger of Daimler and Benz.   🔍 From 1926 to 2007 management board members of Deutsche Bank held the chairman seat on Mercedes-Benz’ supervisory board.   #DeutscheBank #Mercedes #ClientRelationship #HistoryofDB  

Is the metaverse an invention of marketing departments? 🤔 “There is nothing so special about technology that it should be outside the regulation of everyday life”, says Fred Turner, professor at Stanford University. For him, the metaverse is the invention of a marketing department. In this interview he explains why he arrived at this view and why it’s important that we take our freedom rights seriously in the digital sphere, too.

Today, we are celebrating 50 years of Deutsche Bank in Australia. 🌏🥳 On 29 August 1973, Deutsche Bank opened a representative office in Sydney. At the opening of the office, Alfred Herrhausen, Management Board member, responsible for the region, struck a positive note about the opportunities for trade and capital flows between the Pacific region and Europe. Not long after, the region became increasingly important for international capital markets at this time. And so we could drive significant business forward in Australia over the next few years such as: ☑️ Leading a bond issued by the Commonwealth of Australia for 300 million US dollars in 1976. ☑️ Acquiring a 50 per cent share of the Sydney-based firm Bain & Company Ltd., one of the leading investment banks in Australia, 1989. ☑️ Acquiring the UK-based merchant bank Morgan Grenfell in the same year. Today, Deutsche Bank Australia has over 300 staff, located across Sydney, Melbourne and Perth. Glenn Morgan, Australia CEO says: “Deutsche Bank’s 50-year legacy in Australia showcases a journey of transformation. What started as a handful of staff has evolved into a deeply experienced team, seamlessly connecting Australia to the world.” In addition, our colleagues in Australia put their emphasis on the field of sustainable finance. Glenn Morgan adds: “It is an area of growth for Australia that aligns our legacy with sustainable practices that will drive progress for the next half century”.

Have you heard of panda bonds and dim sum bonds? 🐼 Named after China’s national symbol, panda bonds are debt instruments that offer global companies, governments and international institutions the opportunity to raise funds in China, while also benefitting from cheaper funding costs as a result of China’s low interest rates. The bonds also offer issuers a way to fund business in the world’s second-largest economy and are a key part of Chinese authorities’ push to internationalise the renminbi (RMB) currency. Issuance of panda bonds in the first half of 2023 reached a record high of 72 billion renminbi (10 billion US dollars), an increase of more than 33 percent over the same period last year and Deutsche Bank has become a leading arranger as more and more foreign companies look to issue them in China’s onshore market. This year, Deutsche Bank issued its own panda bond, raising 1 billion renminbi (around 143million US dollars*) and enabling the bank to directly tap into China’s onshore bond market and to access a new investor base at attractive funding levels. Deutsche Bank’s Head of China Onshore Debt Capital Markets, Samuel Fischer CFA, and Head of China Offshore Debt Capital Markets, Ben Wang, discuss the panda bond market and its offshore counterpart, the dim sum bond market. 🥟 Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/e5HUc5fw #APAC #ChinaMarkets #Bonds #Banking #DeutscheBank

Next week we’re marking 50 years of Deutsche Bank in Australia. 🇦🇺 In preparation for this celebration, we took a stroll around our Historical Institute for our monthly Timeless Treasures series and found these facts about our history #downunder: 1️⃣ Our representative office opened in Sydney on 29 August 1973. Eagle Rock by Aussie rock band Daddy Cool was in its 10th week at number 1 in the charts. 2️⃣ Alfred Herrhausen, at the time the board member for the Pacific region and later CEO, set out the bank's strategic objectives at a press conference. 3️⃣ Australian and German newspapers ran ads to announce the new market: “Australia is no longer ‘down under’ for Deutsche Bank – it’s now right on top”. 4️⃣ The city’s new opera house, inaugurated a few weeks later, was already visible in these first Deutsche Bank advertisements. 5️⃣ At the reception to mark the opening in Sydney the bank’s executives and their guests wore today’s Deutsche Bank logo (the diagonal in the square) for the first time, more than a half year before its official introduction. Stay tuned for more impressions from Australia coming soon. 🇦🇺 #TimelessTreasures #History #Australia #DBAustralia #DeutscheBank
