Real Estate Financing<br />

In 2008, the division continued the successful developments of previous years. At<br />

€ 6.7 billion, contracted new business volume in its core business was up slightly<br />

year-on-year, despite the difficult market environment. The situation on the financial<br />

markets led to additional opportunities for new business in the first half year, since<br />

demand for finance exceeded supply. Increasingly difficult capital market conditions<br />

successively led to a higher cost of funds, and thus to considerable increases in<br />

interest. As a consequence, demand from investors contracted as scheduled projects<br />

were cancelled or postponed in view of the market situation. Reversals of allowances<br />

for losses and higher net commission income contributed to the fact that the division’s<br />

operating result again exceeded the high value of € 246 million in the previous year,<br />

increasing to € 259 million.<br />
