Commerzbank will pay a dividend for the first time since 2007 as its recovery gains ground, but is losing its Chief Executive Martin Blessing, the architect who managed the bank's turnaround after the financial crisis. Germany's second-largest lender said on November 2, 2015 that it will propose a payout of 20 euro cents per share for 2015, a day after Blessing said he will leave the bank after his contract expires next year.
