Banco BPM has rejected UniCredit's unexpected €10 billion ($10.5 billion) takeover offer, stating it does not reflect its profitability or potential for growth. The board expressed concerns over the rapid timeline of a merger, which could undermine the bank's legal autonomy and expansion plans, particularly in Germany. UniCredit's CEO emphasized the need for larger banks in Europe to enhance economic competitiveness, while the Italian government has shown mixed reactions to UniCredit's ambitions.
Mps explores mergers as government actions stabilize Italy's historic bank
Monte dei Paschi di Siena (Mps) is undergoing significant changes, with the government facilitating a share placement that attracts large investors and opens the door to potential mergers. Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini highlights the bank's resilience and investment appeal, while Banco BPM's recent acquisition of a stake in Mps raises speculation about a merger, potentially in 2024, which could enhance economic efficiency and product distribution. The strategic moves aim to stabilize Mps and strengthen its role in the Italian banking sector.
