AFP, Frankfurt :
Germany’s biggest lender Deutsche Bank said Friday that Donald Trump’s tax reforms in the US pushed it into the red in 2017.
The Frankfurt-based bank said in a statement that its net loss amounted to 512 million euros ($640 million) last year, narrower than the loss of 1.4 billion euros in 2016.
Revenues fell to 26.4 billion euros in 2017 from 30 billion euros the year before.
At a pre-tax level, however, Deutsche Bank was back in the black, notching up a profit of almost 1.3 billion euros, compared with a loss of 810 million euros the previous year.
