Deutsche Bank rated Best Bank in Pakistan by the Chartered Financial Association

Karachi, October 31, 2013 (PPI-OT): Deutsche Bank announced today that it has been rated as the Best Bank in Pakistan by the Chartered Financial Association (CFA) in the category “Small Size Banks” with balance sheet footings of less than one billion Euro.

Faizan A.Mitha, Deutsche Bank’s Chief Country Officer for Pakistan, said: “We are very pleased with the CFA rating of our Pakistan franchise.
