20 November 2009 - Dutch state-run bank ABN Amro is likely to register a loss of between EUR800m (USD1.19bn) and EUR900m following the sale of part of its commercial banking business to German Deutsche Bank (FRA:DBK), ABN Amro said yesterday.
The lender expects to book the bulk of the loss in the last quarter of 2009.
Meanwhile, the Dutch Finance Ministry said the German bank will pay ABN EUR700m for its assets.
ABN will have to sell its bank HBU and several business offices under the EU competition body's requirement for an antitrust clearance of its merger with Fortis Bank Netherlands.

NEW DELHI, Sept 21, 2009 (Asia In Focus via COMTEX) --
The Indian arm of global lender ABN AMRO BANK, whose retail business is reported to be on the block, recorded a near three-fold growth in bad loans during 2008-09. The net Non-Performing Asset (NPA) ratio -- a pointer to the loans that are considered bad -- of ABN Amro has gone up to 2.2 per cent of its assets suggesting that the foreign bank is just a shade better than the crisis ridden CITIBANK, the RBI data revealed.
* The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), which acquired global operations of ABN Amro Bank, is in advanced discussions with bidders for selling its retail and commercial banking businesses in certain Asian markets, including that of India.
* ABN Amro Bank's net NPA ratio, according to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), increased from 0.85 per cent in 2007-08 to 2.20 per cent during 2008-09, one of the highest among the 30 foreign banks operating in the country.
