Banco BPM to Continue with Anima Deal Despite ECB's View
MILAN (Reuters) - Banco BPM intends to proceed with its bid for fund manager Anima Holding regardless of the regulators' stance on capital treatment, a source with knowledge of the matter said on Thursday.
The European Central Bank has issued a negative opinion on Banco BPM's plan to use what is known as the 'Danish Compromise' to facilitate the deal, potentially making it more expensive.
