Deutsche Bank secures $652 million capital-relief deal with European Investment Bank for green mortgages

Deutsche Bank has entered a deal with the European Investment Bank that enables it to offer discounts on over €600 million ($652 million) worth of green mortgages in Germany.

This deal highlights the growing use of capital-relief products in the finance industry to facilitate green initiatives amid stricter regulations and intense competition. These products allow banks to transfer some of their portfolio risk to another party, reducing their capital requirements.
