WELCOME
Where capital, goods and ideas connect
New beginnings When we launched flow in 2015, our goal was to create a new kind of magazine. Aligned to the real economy, Deutsche Bank Corporate Bank supports clients as they navigate an uncertain economic and regulatory environment, and has done so with some for decades.
We wanted to produce a publication that would connect the past with the present and future, and hold a mirror to client journeys. Insights from the cutting edge of corporate and transaction banking, real case studies, financial news you can use – all this has made flow more than just another trade magazine.
Six years on, we’re immensely proud of the award-winning magazine you have in your hands and the content programme that has grown up around it. More than 7,000 readers who are signed up to the flow newsbite service receive a business update e-newsletter every Friday, with various specialist newsletters spaced out in between. The flow website sees around 175,000 visitors and 300,000 page impressions each calendar month.
Now we’re excited to be able to share the next stage in the evolution of flow: a flexible combination of print and digital publishing. flow magazine will become an annual review, and to complement it, we have launched a free, easy-to-use app, which you can read all about in the foldout cover section of this issue.
We know our readers value the magazine for its reflective, in-depth content; deep-dive articles that cover the big developments in our industry and their implications across sectors and geographies. You’ll still be able to read all those at your leisure in the annual review. At the same time, the flow app will also give you fresh, topical content from Deutsche Bank at your fingertips.
As for this issue, our cover feature tells the story of Primetals Technologies, a steel engineering company that is planning for a more sustainable future through a pioneering ESG-aligned FX hedging commitment. Our regional focus examines the factors that underpin the impressive growth of Vietnam’s economy over the past three decades. And, while bitcoin continues to make the headlines, we look at a number of central bank digital currencies that are quietly being developed around the world.
We hope you enjoy reading about these and the other topics covered in this issue.
