GERMANY'S Deutsche Bank AG said yesterday that improved trading, along with tax benefits in the United States, lifted its net earnings to 1.3 billion euros (US$1.8 billion) in last year's fourth quarter.
The profit compared with a loss of 4.8 billion euros in the final three months of 2008.
Deutsche Bank, based in Frankfurt and Germany's biggest by assets, was buoyed by a 554 million euro gain from tax benefits that arose from a decision to recognize deferred tax assets in the US of some 790 million euros.
Revenue rose to 5.5 billion euros in the fourth quarter, compared with a negative 853 million euros last year.
For the full year, the bank earned 5 billion euros, reversing a loss of 3.9 billion euros in 2008, when earnings were impacted hard by the global economic crisis.
Its revenue nearly doubled to 27.9 billion euros from 13.6 billion euros.
