  • Deutsche Bank Probing Sales of Investment Banking Products

    (Bloomberg) -- Deutsche Bank AG is conducting an internal probe after receiving complaints that some bank employees sold risky investments to clients who didn’t properly understand them.“We initiated an investigation in relation to our engagement with a limited number of clients,” a bank spokesman said in a statement on Sunday, following a Financial Times report on the investigation. Deutsche Bank won’t comment further until it completes the review, he said.The probe, codenamed Project Teal, was started in response to client complaints last year and originally focused on a desk in Spain that sells hedges, swaps and derivatives, a person familiar with the matter said. It appears that only Spain and Portugal-based client firms were affected, the person said.Chief Executive Officer Christian Sewing has been trying to improve relations with regulators and draw a line under a string of previous missteps as he seeks to turn around Germany’s largest bank. Fitch Ratings on Monday raised its outlook on the lender, citing progress made under Sewing’s new strategy.Deutsche Bank paid billions of dollars in fines and settlements since the financial crisis for misconduct ranging from failure to stop money laundering to selling toxic mortgage securities and rigging benchmark interest rates.While the bank resolved several cases with regulators, others are outstanding. Deutsche Bank has been cooperating with a U.S. Justice Department investigation of Danske Bank A/S and Swedbank AB, both of which acknowledged compliance failures for serving as a conduit for tens of billions of dollars in suspicious transactions. Deutsche Bank, which handled the bulk of those transactions as a correspondent bank, paid New York banking regulators $150 million for lax oversight.The bank is also aiding U.S. investigations into whether it played a role in a suspected conspiracy to rig the price of Treasury securities, and an inquiry into the hiring of people related to prominent foreign authorities including China, according to its most recent annual filing.Another legal threat is a lengthy criminal probe into how wealthy Russians moved $10 billion into the U.S. financial system using so-called mirror trades in Moscow and London, most of it facilitated by Deutsche Bank. The bank has settled that matter with U.S. and U.K. regulators and acknowledged compliance lapses, leaving the Justice Department’s inquiry hanging.MiFID RulesThe bank’s latest internal probe seeks to determine whether clients were incorrectly sorted according to their financial sophistication under the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive, and whether the bank’s staff sold investment banking products to clients in breach of the EU rules, the person said.The probe has been expanded across Europe, and the bank is also looking at whether employees colluded with staff at some of the clients to split the profits, the FT reported.The misconduct appears to be broad-based over several years, rather than an isolated occurrence, the FT said in its report. It is centered around a former employee who has already left the bank, according to the newspaper.(Adds Fitch raising outlook in fourth paragraph, prior misconduct from fifth.)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

  • Nine found dead in China gold mine as rescue effort continues

    Rescuers searching for the remaining workers trapped in a Chinese gold mine after Sunday's dramatic extraction of 11 survivors have found nine bodies, a local official said on Monday, taking the death toll to 10, with one miner still missing. A total of 22 miners working about 600 metres (2,000 feet) underground were trapped after an explosion at the Hushan mine in Qixia, a major gold-producing region under the administration of Yantai in China's coastal Shandong province, on January 10.Eleven were pulled out alive on Sunday after two weeks underground, including one in a very weak condition to whom rescue teams had been unable to send supplies.Search efforts will continue for the last remaining miner until he is found, said Chen Fei, the mayor of Yantai city, where the mine is located.“Until this worker is found, we will not give up,” he said at a news conference.Chen and other officials involved in the rescue effort held a moment of silence for the victims, bowing their heads.“Our hearts are deeply grieved. We express our profound condolences, and we express deep sympathies to the families of the victims,” he said.The cause of the accident at the mine, which was under construction, is under investigation. The explosion was large enough to release 70 tons of debris that blocked the shaft, disabling elevators and trapping workers underground.Authorities have detained mine managers for delaying reporting the accident.Rescuers drilled parallel shafts to send down food and nutrients and eventually bring up the survivors on Sunday.Such protracted and expensive rescue efforts are relatively new in China’s mining industry, which used to average 5,000 deaths per year. Increased supervision has improved safety, although demand for coal and precious metals continues to prompt the cutting of corners. A new crackdown was ordered after two accidents in mountainous southwestern Chongqing last year killed 39 miners.(FRANCE 24 with AP and REUTERS)

  • Difficult Road to Recovery for Airlines as Losses Expected to Continue into 2021

    Dublin, Jan. 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ResearchAndMarkets.com published a new article on the airline industry "Difficult Road to Recovery for Airlines as Losses Expected to Continue into 2021" International air travel fell dramatically in 2020. According to the UN's air transportation agency international air travel declined by around 60% in 2020 to levels last seen in 2003. This decline led to a loss of approximately $370 billion for the airline industry in 2020. Losses are expected to continue into 2021 with a net loss of $38.7 billion expected according to the International Air Transport Association. As a result, many airlines may continue to depend on financial support from governments to survive.Improvements in airline financial performance are expected to come in the second half of 2021.Demand for air travel is expected to increase in the second half of 2021 provided that international borders can safely reopen as a result of the introduction of widespread testing and/or vaccine rollout. In an optimistic scenario, the International Civil Aviation Organization ICAO predicts global passenger numbers will recover to 71% of their 2019 levels by June 2021. The anticipated increase in demand combined with aggressive cost cutting measures could see the airline industry turn cash positive in the fourth quarter of 2021 however passenger numbers are not expected to return to 2019 levels until 2024.The article on ResearchAndMarkets.com contains a selection of reports on the airline industry such as: Airlines Canada and USA Report & Database2021 Airlines Global Market Size & Growth Report with COVID-19 ImpactKey Trends in Airlines To see the full article and a list of related reports on the market, visit"Difficult Road to Recovery for Airlines as Losses Expected to Continue into 2021" About ResearchAndMarkets.com ResearchAndMarkets.com is the world's leading source for international market research reports and market data.

  • Italy's Conte seeks way out of political mire ahead of Senate vote

    Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte looked for a solution on Monday to a political crisis that has enveloped his government, leaving him without a reliable majority in the upper house Senate. Several Italian newspapers reported that Conte was set to hand in his resignation to the head of state this week and then try to put together a new, broader coalition, drawing up a policy pact for the remaining two years of the legislature. However, a senior government source denied that this was Conte's plan.
