Poland is the shining light, relatively speaking, among central and eastern European markets right now. It is the only country in Europe to have escaped recession since the start of the financial crisis, but that does not mean its finances are in especially good shape. So the government has turned to privatisation to replenish its coffers, and Deutsche Bank has been helping it to adopt a more international approach to asset sales.
Given that Germany and Poland are next-door neighbours, it is no surprise that Deutsche is the most active foreign bank in Poland, with the possible exception of Citibank. It has a presence across the board, in retail, corporate and investment banking, fund management and property.
