Deutsche Bahn confident of IPO success

Parts of the stock market have practically collapsed; the global economic outlook is becoming gloomier by the day and the effects on the transport industry are anything but clear. Nevertheless, the comany’s management is determined to float 24.9% in the logistics and transport business, including its well-known forwarder Schenker, on October 27.
