He also said the bank reduced its administration costs by nearly one-fourth, according to Der Spiegel's pre-release on Saturday.

Hilger said WestLB is prepared to merge with other banks and give up its legal personality.

He said he expects the European Commission will make an announcement this week regarding its demand for Germany to sell its stake in WestLB.
