Overall development of the deposit and investment business was satisfac-
tory. Despite the slump on the international capital markets, we were able to
increase the number of customer investment fund accounts by 21.2% from
510,000 to 618,000.At the same time, the number of direct brokerage accounts
rose by 12.0% from 250,000 to 280,000. Nevertheless, the downward trend on
the capital markets was noticable: although the number of investment account
holders rose, the value of the securities and investment fund shares held by
our customers – including direct brokerage – remained stable at 4.3 billion.
Despite a poor performance in the previous year, growth in deposit banking was
positive in 2001; at 32.4 billion, savings deposits exceeded the level in 2000.
Developments in the lending business were also positive. The volume of
private loans granted by us has risen again. In an overall restrained market, we
recorded growth of 24.5% to 741 million. Despite the poor state of the building
industry, the private building loans business also recorded positive develop-
ments. Our private building loans portfolio rose by 7.3% from 12.4 billion to
13.3 billion. There has also been considerable growth in commercial financ-
ing, where our position rose by 16.9% on the previous year to 19.0 billion. Of
this, 12.1 billion was attributable to loans for bank refinancing and 2.5 billion
to the international public-sector lending business. Developments in commer-
cial real estate finance were also particularly buoyant, with new business in this
segment amounting to more than 1.3 billion.
