Máté Nemes's questions to Deutsche Bank AG (DB) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
Mate Nemes of UBS Group AG inquired about the reasons for the slight downgrade in the Corporate Bank's full-year 2025 revenue outlook. He also asked about the capital consumption implications for the Corporate Bank arising from the opportunities driven by Germany's fiscal stimulus.
Answer
CFO James von Moltke explained the Corporate Bank's revenue outlook was lowered due to FX headwinds and some pressure on net interest income from deposit margins and slower loan growth than initially expected, though fee income remains strong. He stated that while stimulus-driven loan growth will consume capital, the bank is well-equipped to support it and will use securitization and other measures to manage balance sheet velocity, avoiding capital constraints.
