In light of arising opportunities, the management board of Deutsche Bank are reviewing their strategic options.

The statement from Deutsche Bank explained that the management board of Deutsche bank is focused on improving the growth profile and profitability of the bank.

In a statement, Sewing said: 鈥淵ou may recall that last September I said that, first and foremost, we intend to do our homework. In this regard, we have made a lot of progress over the last couple of months. This is something we can be proud of and that we can build on.鈥

鈥淎t the same time, however, we have to assess opportunities as they arise. I have consistently stressed that consolidation in the German and European banking sector is an important topic for us. We have to assess how we want to play a part in shaping it.鈥

He continued: 鈥淥ur stated aim remains to be a global bank with a strong capital markets business鈥攂ased on a leading position in our home market in Germany and in Europe, and with a global network. This is what our clients expect from us. What is also important to me is that we will only pursue options that make economic sense, building on the progress we made in 2018.鈥

鈥淭hat is why we, the management board, will review the options that present themselves to us carefully. It is our responsibility and it is our duty. In doing so, we will keep the interests of the bank and all of our stakeholders in mind.鈥

鈥淎t this point in time, there is no certainty at all that any transaction will materialise. Experience has shown that there may be a lot of potential economic and technical factors that could hinder or prevent such a step.鈥

He added: 鈥淚n the meantime, I would ask you to focus on your daily business and to be there for our clients. They count on us and their trust is our most precious asset. There is no better way for us to get positive recognition than by delivering great service to our clients.鈥
