OpRisk developments<br />

We continued to pursue our objective of improving the Group OpRisk profile in the year<br />

under review. The main priority here was to optimise our methods and processes, in<br />

particular the ongoing development of the early warning system.<br />

This was also reflected in the decrease in the charge for operational risks. The total charge<br />

to Commerzbank in 2011 for OpRisk events (losses plus changes in provisions for operational<br />

risks recognised in equity and ongoing litigation) was €250m (previous year: €274m).<br />

The risk weighted assets (RWA) for operational risks using the advanced measurement<br />

approach (AMA) amounted to €26.3bn as at the end of 2011 (December 31, 2010: €21.8bn).<br />

Of this, roughly 59% related to Private Customers and Corporates & Markets.<br />

Until the newly developed and integrated model has been certified by the regulatory<br />

authorities, the capital requirement for both regulatory and internal reporting purposes will<br />

still be calculated separately for Commerzbank (old) and former Dresdner Bank and reported<br />

as a total. We take the differences between the two separate models into account by applying<br />

an appropriate surcharge.<br />
