Deutsche Bank considers capital hike to improve financial strength

German bank plans to announce issue of planned hybrid bonds as soon as next week – its latest attempt to resolve concerns about its financial strength

Deutsche Bank is considering selling shares to boost capital later this year, the German lender’s latest attempt to resolve concerns about its financial strength, according to people familiar with the matter.

The potential capital hike, which Deutsche Bank executives haven't yet decided whether to pursue, would be on top of €1 billion to €2 billion ($1.38 billion to $2.77 billion) of capital-boosting hybrid bonds that it plans to issue in coming weeks, these people said.
