Asean economy a big draw for Deutsche Bank

[SINGAPORE[ Deutsche Bank is keen to leverage growing intra-Asian trade flows as the push for economic cooperation in Asean gains strength, says a top executive of its global transaction banking team.

"While it may not have fully materialised yet, the Asean Economic Community (AEC) has become more than just a marketing headline," Lisa Robins, head of global transaction banking in Asia-Pacific, told BT.

This also comes alongside the liberalisation of the Chinese yuan and capital account policies, she said.
