Deutsche Bank AG’s wealth management arm is stepping up its recruitment efforts in the Middle East, a region that has become a magnet for the world’s ultra-rich.

The German lender hired 10 bankers in recent months, many from Credit Suisse, to focus on wealthy clients and families in the Gulf, according to a top executive at the bank.
