Former Chief economist of Deutsche Bank Group and head of Deutsche Bank Research

Norbert Walter was Chief Economist of Deutsche Bank Group and member of the management of Deutsche Bank research until the end of 2009.

Before his carreer at Deutsche Bank he was professor and director at the renowned Kiel Institute for World Economics and was a John J. McCloy Distinguished Research Fellow at the American Institute for contemporary Studies at the Johns Hopkins University in Washington, DC (1986-1987). He holds a PhD in Economics from the Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe University, Frankfurt/Main.

As Chief Economist of Deutsche Bank Group Norbert Walter was responsible for a globally integrated approach in economic research. He was also member of the management of Deutsche Bank think tank, which covers a wide spectrum of issues ranging from economic forecasting to country rating and sector analysis. Services are rendered to the Bank's board, staff, customers and the general public. In addition to holding these responsibilities at Deutsche Bank, Professor Walter was a member of the Committee of Wise Men on the Regulation of European Securities Markets ("Lamfalussy group"). Walter was also a valued adviser to Gerhard Schroder's government.

Nobert Walter loves debate, and he will gladly hold forth on anything from the future of East German housing estates, the prospects offered by the internet, the euro or the role of the IMF. When it is a question of explaining economic issues, editors of television news, programmes, and newspaper and magazine editors, look to the 65-year old based in Frankfurt for comment and explanation. To this extent, he is the nation's economist.

Professor Walter is a member of the Board of Directors of the American Chamber of Commerce and a member of the Council of Reutlingen University.
