The Bank will develop a team of research analysts based in Dubai focusing on company and technical analysis. The team will cover both Middle Eastern and international stocks and will be fully integrated into the Bank's global equity research group.
Dr. Josef Ackermann, Chairman of the Management Board and Group Executive Committee, said while on a visit to Dubai: "Dubai is both an exciting growth market and a highly-attractive operating environment for dynamic, service-sector businesses. We are pleased to cement our commitment to the Emirate by developing an onshore research capability."
Ackermann's statement came during a meeting with Dubai's Deputy Ruler, HH Sheikh Maktoum Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
His Excellency Dr. Omar Bin Sulaiman, Governor of the DIFC, welcomed this significant step: "Deutsche Bank has been a big supporter of Dubai and the DIFC since inception, and we see this step as an important one in the further development of the financial services infrastructure in DIFC, Dubai and the whole region."
Over the past three years Deutsche Bank has built an impressive presence in the Middle East and North Africa region, and tripled its headcount to more than 180 staff. The bank has ten operating entities in six countries.

Deutsche Bank opened its first office in Cairo in 1959, followed in the early seventies by an office in Bahrain. In 1999, Deutsche Bank embarked on a regional expansion drive across the GCC which began with the opening of an office in the UAE's Capital Abu Dhabi in 1999, followed by two offices in Dubai: a representative office inaugurated in 2001 and a branch at the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) in 2005. In April of 2006, Deutsche Bank opened a branch in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in the capital Riyadh. Most recently in January of 2007, Deutsche Bank received a license from the Qatar Financial Centre Authority to operate from there.
Deutsche Bank AG in the MENA region offers the full range of investment banking, asset management; private wealth management; and global transaction banking services.
Deutsche Bank's AG is well recognized for its leading role on some of the most prestigious regional transactions. The Bank is the recipient of several awards for its activities in Islamic Finance; and was proclaimed in 2007 as the Best M&A Bank in Middle East & North Africa by Global Finance World.
