“Our global ambitions will not be up for debate under my leadership,” Sewing said, adding the raft of political crises around the world made it important that Deutsche Bank supported its customers in their global business.
“I am quite convinced that this global position is just as important for our economy today as it was after the fall of the (Berlin) Wall.”
