Biggest German bank mulls selling stake in China, India
Deutsche Bank, Germany's biggest lender, is considering selling its stake in Chinese group Hua Xia Bank and divesting its retail banking activities in India, the business daily Handelsblatt reported on Wednesday.
Deutsche Bank spent a total 1.3 billion euros ($1.4 billion) in amassing a stake of nearly 20 percent in Hua Xia Bank between 2006 and 2010, the newspaper said.
That stake is now worth around 3.3 billion euros, but no formal decision to sell it has been taken at this stage, Handelsblatt said.
Deutsche Bank is also considering selling its retail activities in India, where it currently has 17 branches.
