Thanks to our international positioning, our diverse range of products and our active portfolio management, we rank among the top providers worldwide. The planned merger with the public-sector finance institution Hypo- thekenbank in Essen AG (Essen Hyp), which is a subsidiary of Commerzbank, with Eurohypo represents a further milestone in the development of the bank to a valu- able key component of Commerzbank Group. Looking ahead, the entire public finance business in Commerzbank Group will be marketed under the Eurohypo brand. Consequently, this pillar of our business will be placed on an even broader international footing, with an expansion of our financing and market strength. In addition, Eurohypo will be the sole issuer of Pfandbrief securities in Commerzbank Group, a fact that will serve to further strengthen our already prominent position in the capital market. new business remains strong For the vast majority of the real estate sector, 2007 was a trying, but ultimately successful business year. Real estate investment markets saw historically high trans- action volumes, although activity did slow noticeably towards the end of last year. The reporting year was marked chiefly by the subprime crisis in the United States, which spread to global financial markets in the second half of the year, and still has a lingering effect on the capital market. As a result, liquidity is in shorter supply and has become more expensive. Conditions for successful exit management are now more difficult. In addition, many market players remain wary. Despite the ongoing weakness of the international financial markets, Eurohypo has again set records in new business volume: new commitments in the area of commercial real estate were more than 5% higher, at € 36.8 billion. Our outstanding position in real estate financing has been highlighted once again by the magazine “Euromoney”, which awarded Eurohypo the title of “Best Global Commercial Bank in Real Estate”. At the same time, the bank has been recognized – for the third consecutive year – as the no. 1 mortgage bank in Germany. Letter to Shareholders 3 Letter to Shareholders Board of Managing Directors of Managing Directors Board In line with the success of commercial real estate business, our Public Finance segment recorded a 29% rise in new business, to € 20.2 billion. We have expanded our range of derivative financial instruments.
