The remarks came in response to a report by Bloomberg, saying Deutsche Bank Supervisory Board Chairman Paul Achleitner had consulted top shareholders and German government officials about a Commerzbank deal.

"The Chairman of Deutsche Bank is asked constantly about this matter. His answer is always the same: 'All the pro and contra arguments can be read in analyst reports and the media'," a spokesman for the bank said in written comments.

"He sees no reason to actively raise this issue."
