Disclosure of Credit Risk Exposure [text block] | Credit Risk Exposure Deutsche Bank defines its credit exposure by taking into account all transactions where losses might occur due to the fact that counterparties may not fulfill their contractual payment obligations as defined under ‘Credit Risk Framework’. Maximum Exposure to Credit Risk The maximum exposure to credit risk table shows the direct exposure before consideration of associated collateral held and other credit enhancements (netting and hedges) that do not qualify for offset in the financial statements for the periods specified. The netting credit enhancement component includes the effects of legally enforceable netting agreements as well as the offset of negative mark-to-markets from derivatives against pledged cash collateral. The collateral credit enhancement component mainly includes real estate, collateral in the form of cash as well as securities-related collateral. In relation to collateral, the Group applies internally determined haircuts and additionally cap all collateral values at the level of the respective collateralized exposure.

These decreases were partly offset by increases in trading assets of € 32.7 billion, € 3.9 billion in financial assets at fair value through OCI and € 2.3 billion in Off-balance sheet exposure. Trading assets as of December 31, 2023, includes traded bonds of € 112.5 billion (€ 80.2 billion as of December 31, 2022) of which over 85 % were investment-grade (over 83 % as of December 31, 2022). Credit Enhancements are split into three categories: netting, collateral and guarantees / credit derivatives. Haircuts, parameter setting for regular margin calls as well as expert judgments for collateral valuation are employed to prevent market developments from leading to a build-up of uncollateralized exposures. All categories are monitored and reviewed regularly. Overall credit enhancements received are diversified and of adequate quality being largely cash, highly rated government bonds and third-party guarantees mostly from well rated banks and insurance companies. These financial institutions are domiciled mainly in European countries and the United States. Furthermore, the bank has collateral pools of highly liquid assets and mortgages (principally consisting of residential properties mainly in Germany) for the homogeneous retail portfolio. Main Credit Exposure Categories The tables in this section show details about several of Deutsche Bank’s main credit exposure categories, namely Loans, Revocable and Irrevocable Lending Commitments, Contingent Liabilities Over-The-Counter (“OTC”) Derivatives, Debt Securities and Repo and repo-style transactions: – “Loans” are gross loans as reported on our balance sheet at amortized cost, loans at fair value through profit and loss and loans at fair value through other comprehensive income before deduction of allowance for credit losses; this includes “Traded loans” that are bought and held for the purpose of selling them in the near term, or the material risks of which have all been hedged or sold; from a regulatory perspective the latter category principally covers trading book positions – “Revocable and irrevocable lending commitments” consist of the undrawn portion of revocable and irrevocable lending-related commitments – “Contingent liabilities” consist of financial and performance guarantees, standby letters of credit and other similar arrangements (mainly indemnity agreements) – “OTC derivatives” are the bank’s credit exposures from over-the-counter derivative transactions that the Group has entered into, after netting and cash collateral received; on the bank’s balance sheet, these are included in financial assets at fair value through profit or loss or, for derivatives qualifying for hedge accounting, in other assets, in either case only applying cash collateral received and netting eligible under IFRS – “Debt securities” include debentures, bonds, deposits, notes or commercial paper, which are issued for a fixed term and redeemable by the issuer, as reported on our balance sheet within accounting categories at amortized cost and at fair value through other comprehensive income before deduction of allowance for credit losses, it also includes category at fair value through profit and loss; this includes “Traded bonds”, which are bonds, deposits, notes or commercial paper that are bought and held for the purpose of selling them in the near term; from a regulatory perspective the latter category principally covers trading book positions – “Repo and repo-style transactions” consist of reverse repurchase transactions, as well as securities or commodities borrowing transactions, only applying collateral received and netting eligible under IFRS Although considered in the monitoring of maximum credit exposures, the following are not included in the details of the Group’s main credit exposure: brokerage and securities related receivables, cash and central bank balances, interbank balances (without central banks), assets held for sale, accrued interest receivables, traditional securitization positions. Unless stated otherwise, the tables below reflect credit exposure before the consideration of collateral and risk mitigation or structural enhancements, except for OTC derivatives wherein they are post credit enhancements.

The business division Corporate & Other primarily contains exposures in Treasury and Capital Release Unit. Exposure increases have been observed primarily in Debt securities and Off-Balance sheet which is partly offset by decrease in Loans and OTC Derivative products included in main credit exposures by business division. Main Credit Exposure Categories by Industry Sectors The below tables give an overview of the bank’s credit exposure by industry based on the NACE code of the counterparty. NACE (Nomenclature des Activités Économiques dans la Communauté Européenne) is a standard European industry classification system and does not have to be congruent with an internal risk based view applied elsewhere in this report.

Material transactions, such as loans underwritten with the intention to sell down or distribute part of the risk to third parties, are subject to review and approval by senior credit risk management professionals and (depending upon size) an underwriting committee and/or the Management Board. High emphasis is placed on structuring and pricing such transactions so that de-risking can be achieved i a timely manner and – where Deutsche Bank takes market price risk – to mitigate such market risk. The Group’s amortized cost loan exposure within above categories is mostly to good quality borrowers. Moreover, with the focus on the Corporate Bank and Investment Bank, loan exposure is subject to further risk mitigation through the bank’s e.g. Strategic Corporate Lending unit. Deutsche Bank’s household loan exposure is principally associated with Private Bank portfolios. The bank’s amortized cost loan exposure of € 49.3 billion to Real Estate activities as reported above is based on NACE code classification and comprises of recourse and non-recourse financing, across various parts of the Group and client segments. This includes € 25.1 billion of loans which is based on Deutsche Bank’s definition of non-recourse CRE loans. For more information on non-recourse CRE loans, see section Focus areas in 2023 in the chapter IFRS 9 Impairment. The Group’s commercial real estate loans, primarily originated in the U.S. and Europe, are generally secured by first mortgages on the underlying real estate property. Deutsche Bank originates fixed and floating rate loans and selectively acquires (generally at substantial discount) sub- /non-performing loans sold by financial institutions. The underwriting process is stringent and the exposure is managed under separate portfolio limits. Credit underwriting policy guidelines provide that LTV ratios of generally less than 75 % are adhered to at loan origination. Commercial real estate property valuations and rental incomes can be significantly impacted by macro-economic conditions and idiosyncratic events affecting the underlying properties. Accordingly, the portfolio is categorized as higher risk and hence subject to the aforementioned tight restrictions on concentration. The Group’s credit exposure to the ten largest counterparties accounted for 12 % of the bank’s aggregated total credit exposure in these categories as of December 31, 2023, compared with 11 % as of December 31, 2022. The top ten counterparty exposures were well-rated counterparties or otherwise related to structured trades which show high levels of risk mitigation.

Due to full collateralization the Group did not recognize an allowance for credit losses against financial assets at amortized cost in Stage 3 for € 408 million in 2023 and € 916 million in 2022. Modified assets at amortized cost A financial asset is considered modified when its contractual cash flows are renegotiated or otherwise modified. Renegotiation or modification may or may not lead to derecognition of the old and recognition of the new financial instrument. This section covers modified financial assets that have not been derecognized. Under IFRS 9, when the terms of a Financial Asset are renegotiated or modified and the modification does not result in derecognition, a gain or loss is recognized in the income statement as the difference between the original contractual cash flows and the modified cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate (EIR). For modified financial assets the determination of whether the asset’s credit risk has increased significantly reflects the comparison of: – The remaining lifetime probability of default (PD) at the reporting date based on the modified terms; with – The remaining lifetime PD estimated based on data at initial recognition and based on the original contractual terms. The following table provides the overview of modified financial assets at amortized cost in the reporting periods broken down into IFRS 9 stages.

The latter were granted with no modification loss. In 2023, the Group has not observed any amounts of modified assets that have been upgraded to Stage 1. The bank has not observed any subsequent re-deterioration of those assets into Stages 2 and 3. In 2022, the Group has observed immaterial amounts of modified assets that have been upgraded to Stage 1. The bank has not observed any subsequent re-deterioration of those assets into Stages 2 and 3. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income The fair value of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) subject to impairment under IFRS 9 was € 36 billion at December 31, 2023, compared to € 32 billion at December 31, 2022. Allowance for credit losses against these assets remained at very low levels (€ 48 million as of December 31, 2023 and € 69 million as of December 31, 2022). Due to immateriality no further breakdown is provided for financial assets at FVOCI.

Such enforcement activity comprises for example cases where the bank continues to devote resources (e.g. our Legal Department/CRM workout unit) towards recovery, either via legal channels or third party recovery agents. Enforcement activity also applies to cases where the Bank maintains outstanding and unsettled legal claims. This is irrespective of whether amounts are expected to be recovered and the recovery timeframe. It may be common practice in certain jurisdictions for recovery cases to span several years. Amounts outstanding on financial assets that were written off during the reporting period and are still subject to enforcement activity amounted to € 334 million in fiscal year 2023, mainly in Corporate Bank. In 2022, legal claims amounted to € 175 million, mainly in Corporate Bank and Private Bank. |
