Deutsche Bank Launches Research Institute

Deutsche Bank has launched a new Research Institute to answer what it terms the growing demand for a European perspective on the long-term themes driving the global economy.

The Deutsche Bank Research Institute (DBRI) will offer insights from bank’s research on geopolitics, macroeconomics, technology and the corporate landscape. It will be headed by David Folkerts-Landau, alongside his current roles as chief economist and global head of research, and aims to help corporate executives, global investors and policymakers navigate a shifting environment by sharing insights in original and engaging ways. These will include events, videos, webinars, podcasts and reports available on a new public website, Deutsche says.

The bank says the research institute will cover over 1,500 global companies, as well as key markets and sectors, spanning rates, foreign exchange, equities, emerging markets, credit, and securitisation. Its content will complement the bank’s existing research, which will continue to be available exclusively to clients.

“The world around us is changing rapidly and our clients and stakeholders are increasingly turning to us for our expertise to help them understand the long-term themes driving global economies,” says Christian Sewing, CEO of Deutsche Bank. “The Institute will enable us to share our insights with a wider audience that can benefit from our special perspective, rooted in the heart of Europe and with an international network.”

Fabrizio Campelli, head of the Corporate Bank and the Investment Bank at Deutsche, adds, “[Our] ability to make sense of a complex world has never been so much in demand, so this is the perfect time to make an even greater contribution to the public debate about the long-term themes driving change in Europe and beyond.”
