“Deutsche Bank May Ultimately Need A State Bailout” – Handelsblatt<\/a><\/h3>\n
\n
\n

While the most recent set of troubles plaguing Deutsche Bank have been duly documented here, most\u00a0recently yesterday\u00a0<\/a>when the stock price tumbled once again just shy of all time lows over fears the bank’s multi-billion DOJ settlement could severely impact its liquidity and\/or solvency, this may be the first time we have heard the “n<\/strong>“-word tossed around in an official German publication: as Germany’s top financial newspaper, Handelsblatt said, “German financial officials reacted with shock and dismay to the leaking of a U.S. government demand for a $14 billion fine against Deutsche Bank,\u00a0which may ultimately need a state bailout to pay the bill.<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Some more details from the article titled “Deutsche Bank in New Existential Crisis<\/a>“:<\/p>\n

\n
Discussion of Deutsche Bank\u2019s shaky capitalization has burst back to life, with renewed speculation on whether Chief Executive John Cryan will be forced to raise new capital, which he had previously ruled out, or make emergency asset sales.<\/div>\n

Some have even raised the possibility of a government bailout of Germany\u2019s largest bank, which would be a defining event and a symbolic blow to the image of Europe\u2019s largest economy.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And some more troubling truth:<\/p>\n

\n
Many analysts fear the bank may be in a vicious circle, with losses and cancelled dividends pushing down share prices and preventing the rebuilding of a capital buffer.<\/div>\n

One thing is clear. With this many unresolved legal issues, any recapitalization is likely to mean selling new shares at knock-down prices. One bright spot for the bank may be ongoing negotiations with finance company Phoenix Group for the sale of Abbey Life, its British insurance subsidiary.<\/p>\n

Phoenix recently confirmed talks were at an advanced stage. Any sale would bring \u20ac1 billion into Deutsche Bank\u2019s coffers \u2013 a welcome sum, but not enough to solve the bank\u2019s problems.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
