Deutsche Bank Africa and Middle East

Deutsche Bank's commitment in the MEA region is more than a century old, beginning with the bank's financing of the constitution of the Baghdad railway.

Deutsche Bank AG in the MEA region offers the full range of Investment Banking, Asset Management, Private Wealth Management and Global Transaction Banking services. Deutsche Bank AG is well recognized for its leading role on some of the most prestigious regional transactions. The bank is recipient of several regional and international awards in recognition of its achievements in Investment Banking and Islamic finance in the region.

The global focus of Deutsche Bank's social responsibility is reflected in its regional unit and foundations. Hence the decision to establish Deutsche Bank's Middle East stemmed from Deutsche Bank's deep-seated belief in the necessity of companies contributing to the societies in which they operate. Established in 2008, Deutsche Bank's Middle East Foundation is one of the bank's many foundations around the globe across Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas. Deutsche Bank's Middle East Foundation focuses on funding investments in arts, education, community development, sustainability and volunteering in the Middle East and North Africa region.
