Commerzbank CEO Bettina Orlopp criticized UniCredit's approach to acquiring a stake in her bank, stating it lacks the expected friendliness. She emphasized her commitment to Commerzbank's successful strategy while awaiting UniCredit's decision on a potential takeover bid.
Commerzbank AG is executing a significant risk transfer as part of CEO Bettina Orlopp's strategy to unlock capital. The bank is selling a synthetic risk transfer (SRT) linked to a €2 billion portfolio of corporate loans, with the SRT valued at approximately €150 million.
Commerzbank CEO Bettina Orlopp is strategizing to unlock capital for payouts or investments amid a potential takeover by UniCredit. She aims to keep the growth in risk-weighted assets several billion euros below the 2027 target by implementing significant risk transfers and possibly reducing exposure to low-yielding clients.
Commerzbank CEO Bettina Orlopp emphasized the necessity of establishing a banking union in Europe before pursuing cross-border mergers. She stated that a conducive environment for consolidation must be created, as the current banking union has yet to be finalized.
Bettina Orlopp, CEO of Commerzbank, expressed concerns over a potential takeover by Unicredit, citing integration challenges and risks to German SMEs due to overlapping corporate customer bases. She noted that such a merger could lead to a downgrade in Commerzbank's credit rating and increased refinancing costs. Despite these risks, the bank's shares remain a strong buy, with a target price above €20.
