(IN BRIEF) In its latest announcement, Deutsche Bank has launched a dedicated research institute aimed at analyzing significant long-term global trends. This initiative is focused on advancing the bank’s research capabilities by examining key themes including technological innovation, sustainability, geopolitical shifts, and broader economic transformations. The institute is set to leverage a multidisciplinary approach to produce robust, forward-looking insights that will support both institutional clients and policy makers. With this strategic development, Deutsche Bank reinforces its commitment to pioneering research and strategic foresight, promising to enhance market analysis and better prepare for future global challenges.

(PRESS RELEASE) FRANKFURT, 14-Mar-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — Deutsche Bank (XETRA: DBKGn.DE / NYSE: DB), Germany’s leading multinational investment bank and financial services company, has unveiled its latest initiative—a Research Institute designed to meet the growing need for a distinctly European viewpoint on the long-term trends shaping the global economy.

Operating under the name Deutsche Bank Research Institute (DBRI), the center will deliver deep insights on topics ranging from geopolitics and macroeconomics to technology and the corporate environment, all derived from the bank’s renowned research team.

The Institute’s mission is to assist corporate leaders, international investors, and policymakers as they navigate an ever-changing landscape. It will disseminate its findings through a variety of engaging channels such as events, videos, webinars, podcasts, and comprehensive reports, all hosted on a new public website. Interested readers can subscribe to receive the latest content in real time.

With its tagline, “Bringing the world to Europe and Europe to the world,” the Institute underscores its commitment to bridging global perspectives with European insights.

Christian Sewing, CEO of Deutsche Bank, remarked, “Our world is evolving at a rapid pace, and our clients and stakeholders increasingly rely on our expertise to decode the long-term drivers of global economies.” He further noted that the Institute will broaden the audience for these insights, sharing the bank’s unique perspective rooted in Europe yet connected to an extensive international network.

Fabrizio Campelli, a Member of the Management Board and Head of the Corporate and Investment Banks, added, “For years, Deutsche Bank Research has been celebrated for its incisive and robust analysis. As the complexity of the global landscape grows, our ability to clarify these trends is more crucial than ever, making this an ideal moment to enhance public discourse on the enduring themes that are transforming Europe and the wider world.”

In light of the recent German federal election, the Institute’s first report, titled “What Germany’s economy needs now,” offers a timely examination of the reforms necessary to secure Germany’s economic future and drive prosperity in the decades ahead.

Heading the Institute is David Folkerts-Landau, who currently serves as Chief Economist and Global Head of Deutsche Bank Research. He stated, “The Deutsche Bank Research Institute is set to provide a bold, independent, and thoroughly researched perspective on today’s most pressing issues. This marks an exciting expansion of our world-class research portfolio.”

Additionally, the Institute leverages the extensive expertise of Deutsche Bank’s elite research team and an impressive database covering over 1,500 global companies, key financial markets, and sectors—including rates, foreign exchange, equities, emerging markets, credit, and securitisation. Its outputs will complement the bank’s existing client-exclusive research, broadening access to valuable insights.
