Deutsche Bank kicks off expected wave of FIG capital raisings

European financial institutions set to follow German bank's lead as it confirms €9.8bn rights issue

Deutsche Bank's decision to carry out a €10bn rights issue is likely to spur further capital raisings at banks as financial institutions respond to regulators agreeing to important details in the long-awaited Basel III accord, bankers working on the deal have said.

The German bank confirmed this morning that it would raise at least €9.8bn via a fully underwritten rights issue, with the preliminary subscription price set at €31.80. The final subscription price is set to be announced in September 20.
