Deutsche Bank AG won a commitment for new investment from Qatar as the troubled German lender moves toward a potential merger with Commerzbank AG.
The investment is likely to be made through the Qatar Investment Authority, the country’s sovereign wealth fund, according to people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified because the talks are private. Two other Qatari investment vehicles, controlled by members of the royal family and other prominent politicians, already own a stake in Deutsche Bank.
