Within the cooperative financial services network, DZ BANK AG functions both as a central institution for around 1,000 cooperative banks and their 12,000 branch offices and as a corporate bank. The DZ BANK Group includes Bausparkasse Schwäbisch Hall, Deutsche Genossenschafts-Hypothekenbank (DG HYP), DZ BANK International, DZ PRIVATBANK Schweiz, R+V Versicherung, TeamBank, Union Investment Group, VR LEASING, and various other specialized institutions. With their strong brands, the companies of the DZ BANK Group constitute key pillars in the range of financial products and services offered by the cooperative financial services network. The collaboration between the compa- nies in the DZ BANK Group helps optimize the offering available to the cooperative banks and their 30 million or so clients. This combination of banking, insurance, home savings and personal investment products and services has a long and successful tradition in the cooperative financial services network. The specialized institutions in the DZ BANK Group provide top-class, highly competitive products at reasonable prices within their specific areas of expertise. This ensures that the cooperative banks in Germany are able to offer their clients a comprehensive range of outstanding financial services.

Although we too have been hit hard by the financial crisis and its effects, which have been impacting on the real economy for some time now, we intend to meet these challenges – and will do so – by drawing on the considerable resources of the cooperative financial services network. DZ BANK and the specialized service providers within the group continued to act as reliable and effective service providers for the cooperative banks in 2008. This demonstrates the efficiency and robustness of our business model as a financial services group with access to 30 million customers. This model is intact and sustainable. There are numerous examples of successful collaboration within the cooperative financial services network. In our lending to small and medium-sized enterprises, for example, which DZ BANK does in collaboration with the local cooperative banks, we achieved double-digit growth in new DZ BANK 03 2008 ANNUAL REPORT LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS business in 2008. Our decentralized consulting and sales support concept proved its worth in what were challenging market conditions in the primary banks’ own-account investing activities. We are now the leader in the German market for investment certificates with a market share of more than 22 percent. Our investment research once again won a number of awards, and 2008 was an encouraging year for our transaction banking operations as well. A cursory glance at the specialized service providers in the DZ BANK Group reveals a positive picture. Bausparkasse Schwäbisch Hall reported new home savings business worth € 32 billion in 2008, which was its best-ever result. R+V’s life insurance business increased its new premium income by roughly 7 percent, which was a record. Union Investment is Germany’s largest provider of fund-based Riester savings products for over 1.7 million clients. The easyCredit consumer finance product offered by TeamBank attracted more than 30,000 new customers in 2008, which equated to year-on-year growth of approximately 8 percent. The volume of new equipment and vendor finance business generated by VR LEASING in 2008, in Germany and abroad, was in line with the high figure achieved in 2007. The transformation of DG HYP into a commercial real-estate lender made good progress. This successful collaboration between the specialized service providers in the DZ BANK Group and the cooperative banks is reflected in the level of commissions and bonuses received: at just under € 1.7 billion they remained virtually unchanged on the high figure reported for 2007 despite last year’s turmoil in the financial markets. These encouraging trends in our core business played out against a backdrop of unprecedented dislocations in the global economy that overshadowed our strong operating performance. Allowing for these effects in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the DZ BANK Group reported a loss before taxes of € 1.47 billion for 2008, having generated a profit before taxes of € 1.07 billion in 2007. It incurred a net loss of € 1 billion for the year under review compared with a net profit of just under € 900 million in the previous year. These figures were adversely impacted in particular by impairments of € 1.76 billion on bonds and asset- backed securities and by our exposures to Iceland (€ 451 million), Lehman Brothers (€ 364 million) and Natixis (€ 269 million). Excluding the effects of the financial crisis, the DZ BANK Group generated a profit before taxes of just under € 1.78 billion. Its Tier I capital ratio amounted to 7.4 percent compared with 7.7 percent in 2007. DZ BANK AG reported a net income for the year 2008 of € 59 million in accordance with the German Commercial Code (HGB). Consequently, it will be proposed to the Annual General Meeting that a dividend of 5 cents per share be paid compared with 13 cents in the previous year. One of the main advantages of the cooperative financial services network – as demonstrated by last year’s market turmoil – is its highly cohesive system of liquidity management. This entails DZ BANK performing a central function as liquidity manager for the local cooperative banks and our subsidiaries and as an interface to the international money and capital markets. We benefit – especially in the current economic climate – from the considerable and growing reputation of the cooperative principle, which is reflected in the growth of the cooperative banks’ deposits. We reckon we will need additional capital in the order of € 1 billion for 2009 to act as a cushion against the persistently high levels of uncertainty as to how the financial markets and the real economy will fare going forward. We are mitigating these adverse effects of the financial crisis by drawing on the resources already available in the cooperative financial services network.

  • Fitch Revises Outlooks on German Cooperative Banks and DZ BANK to Stable; Affirms at 'AA-'
    01 JUL 2021 Fitch Revises Outlooks on German Cooperative Banks and DZ BANK to Stable; Affirms at 'AA-' Fitch Ratings - Frankfurt am Main - 01 Jul 2021: Fitch Ratings has revised Genossenschaftliche FinanzGruppe (GFG) and the members of its mutual support scheme, including GFG's central institution DZ BANK AG Deutsche Zentral-Genossenschaftsbank (DZ BANK) and 814 local cooperative banks, to Stable Outlook from Negative Outlook. Their Long-Term Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs) have been affirmed at 'AA-'. The revisions of the Outlooks reflect our view that the risk of significant deterioration of the operating environment, leading to a durable weakening of GFG's asset quality and profitability, has subsided since our last rating action in August 2020. GFG is not a legal entity but a cooperative banking network whose cohesion is ensured by a mutual support scheme managed by the National Association of German Cooperative Banks (BVR). GFG's IDRs apply to each member bank, in accordance with Annex 4 of Fitch's criteria for rating banking structures backed by mutual support schemes. The ratings are underpinned by the high effectiveness of the scheme given its long and successful record of ensuring GFG's cohesion, monitoring members' risks and enforcing corrective measures when needed. The scheme has effectively protected its members' viability and averted losses for their creditors since its inception. Fitch has also downgraded Deutsche Apotheker- und Aerztebank eG's (apoBank) Long-Term Deposit Rating because we no longer expect the bank's buffer of senior non-preferred and more junior debt to remain sustainably above 10% of risk weighted assets (RWAs) as the bank is not required to maintain resolution debt buffers.

  • How Difficult the Task of Governance Is Depends Not Just on the Size And
    The governance of large co-operative businesses A research study for Co-operatives UK new insight Professor Johnston Birchall How difficult the task of governance is depends “not just on the size and complexity of an organisation, but also on who owns it. ” This is the first comprehensive research study into how co-operative businesses worldwide operate in terms of their governance. Confronting head on some of the myths around the co-operative way of doing business, The Governance of Large Co-operative Businesses reviews the performance and governance structures of sixty of the world’s largest co-operative businesses. The opinions contained in this document are those of the author alone rather than the policy of Co-operatives UK and any errors or omissions remain entirely the responsibility of the author. Contents Summary 2 Introduction 4 Chapter 1 Is there a problem of governance in co-operatives? 8 Chapter 2 A theory of co-operative governance 16 Chapter 3 The agriculture and food industries sector 23 Chapter 4 The wholesale and retail sector 34 Chapter 5 The industry and utilities sector 44 Chapter 6 The health and social care sector 50 Chapter 7 Banking and financial services 57 Chapter 8 The insurance sector 65 Conclusion 74 Bibliography 79 Endnotes 81 2 The governance of large co-operative businesses Summary Experience tells us that governance in member-owned co-operatives is distinct from that in investor-owned businesses, yet we do not understand fully how this operates in practice. This research study of governance in large co-operatives helps to fill the gaps in our knowledge.
