US EditionDeutsche Bank posts 39% jump in profit, lifts credit provisions amid U.S. tariffs uncertainty
- Deutsche Bank reported a 39% rise in first-quarter 2025 profit, reaching €1.78 billion amid global market volatility and tariff concerns.
- This growth followed U.S. Tariff implementations and retaliations that have caused economic uncertainty and impacted corporate forecasts and consumer behavior.
- The bank’s revenue surged 10% led by a 17% increase in fixed-income and currency trading, despite a €90 million leveraged finance writedown and heightened credit provisions.
- CEO Christian Sewing said these results represent their best quarterly profit in fourteen years and put the bank on track to meet all 2025 targets despite the uncertain macroeconomic environment.
- The profit gains suggest Deutsche Bank is navigating tariff-driven market turbulence but remains cautious due to the risk of slower growth, weaker loan demand, and possible recession in Germany.
