Deutsche Bank seeks to defend global strategy

Article Abstract:

Deutsche Bank AG tried to counter criticisms hurled at the performance of its investment banking unit and global strategy, calling itself the leader in such areas as underwriting and trading. The bank has been conducting some damage control brought about by the departure of key investment bankers recruited to transfer the company into a top Wall Street player. But Deutsche Chairman Rolf Breuer's defence of his company accomplishing little in calming investors, who criticized the bank's disappointing 1.3% drop in net income for the first half of 1998.

Dresdner Bank swings to loss of $34.2 million

Article Abstract:

Dresdner Bank AG of Germany suffers during the third quarter of 1998 operating losses of $34.2 million in a development that made the bank Europe's first important banking firm to suffer from losses during the said period. Dresdner Bank's losses were blamed on the deficit it suffered from trading activities and the economic recession experienced by Russia. The company's financial status proved to be disappointing because it was below the projections made by market analysts.
