Deutsche Bank is named IFR Bank of the Year 2005

Deutsche Bank has been named Bank of the Year by International Financing Review (IFR) magazine for the second time in three years.

Deutsche Bank was awarded four of IFR’s top seven prizes, winning Bond House, Derivatives House and Structured Finance House, as well as Bank of the Year 2005.

Only two banks have won the top award from IFR more than once in the past nine years – Citigroup and now Deutsche Bank.

Following the announcement, Josef Ackermann said: “We are delighted. The IFR awards are the most prestigious in our industry and it is gratifying that the hard work of everyone in the bank has been recognised.”

Deutsche Bank was named Bond House of the Year for the third time in seven years and Derivatives House of the Year for the fifth time in eight. It is the first occasion that the Bank has won these two global awards in the same year.
