First half of 2021: DZ BANK Group reports a profit before taxes of €1.83 billion
In the first half of 2021, the DZ BANK Group generated a profit before taxes of €1.83 billion (first half of 2020: €557 million).

One-off items were also a contributing factor, including reporting-date-related valuation effects at R+V Versicherung and DZ HYP as a result of the situation in the capital markets. The disposal of foreign companies of Bausparkasse Schwäbisch Hall and Union Investment also had a positive impact, as did sales transactions at DVB Bank.
