Global presence (world map)

Relatively robust business model

The current crisis has exposed weaknesses in some parts of our business model, which we have addressed with focused and decisive actions. Furthermore, our fundamental business model remains sound. With its diversified business portfolio and global franchise, its solid Tier 1 capital ratio and funding base, Deutsche Bank in 2008 has managed to increase its share in many businesses even in shrinking markets. However, revenues often were lower in absolute terms compared with 2007.
