The New Deal on Defense: Deutsche Bank's Stand
Finance now encompasses defense: a new trend in security investments.
Let's talk about Deutsche Bank's foray into the defense and infrastructure sector - a move that's been making quite the buzz lately, even among the financial bigwigs. Fabrizio Campelli, the dude in charge of Corporate and Investment Banking, spilled the beans in a Bloomberg interview.
Since then, a crack team of 30 bankers has been put together, and they've sealed around 20 new deals in areas like capital markets, mergers and acquisitions, and financing. With a mid-double-digit billion euros exposure to the defense sector (close to 50 billion euros), Deutsche Bank is staking its claim in this field.
Now, here's where things get interesting. Deutsche Bank dropped a significant deal to facilitate €1 billion financing for security and defense-related projects. This deal, with the European Investment Bank (EIB), includes a €500 million loan for SMEs and Mid-Caps in the defense supply chain, as well as funding for military and police infrastructure such as training facilities[1][2].
In case you're wondering, this isn't Deutsche Bank's first outing in defense sector financing. The partnership with the EIB underscores its commitment to fostering innovation and resilience across the European defense supply chain[1][2]. While there's no confirmed news about new deals in mergers and acquisitions or capital markets specifically related to the defense and infrastructure sector, keep your eyes peeled. After all, Deutsche Bank is a force to be reckoned with in the world of finance.
