Dresdner drags Commerzbank into red

Germany's second biggest bank, Commerzbank, has reported a 2008 net loss of €6.6 billion, including its recently acquired Dresdner Bank business.

Commerzbank had posted a net profit of €3m in February but that figure did not include results from Dresdner, a bank bought from the insurance group Allianz for €4.7 billion.

Commerzbank waited until it published its annual report to present results which included Dresdner.

'The overriding theme of 2009 will be the integration of Dresdner Bank,' Commerzbank said.
