in order for the waistband of his since the government rescue of Commerzbank in the Winter of 2008/2009 adopted remains even in the greatest crisis of the Bank since the state’s initial loyalty: The Federal government has yet to 15.6 percent of all Commerzbank shares, for by the former Federal government of the Merkel/Steinbrück 5 billion euros have been paid and which are currently only 900 million euros in value. But the Federal government has imposed, to take on the business policy of the Commerzbank a little visible impact. The opposite would be the case if a representative of the Federal government would take over the chairmanship, it is argued, behind the Scenes.
The New is to be the chief
since may of 2018 President of the Supervisory Board Chairman Schmitt man wants to be a mandate on 3. August put down. Therefore, the Supervisory Board met on Wednesday morning to a special meeting.
