Bank mergers

Bank mergers always require the approval of the supervisory authorities. In particular, they check the compatibility of organizational structures and IT system landscapes in order to limit any potential accumulation of risk as a result of the merger. This also applies to cross-border mergers. Past experience has shown that success is not just size, and that many of the goals targeted by the merger, such as synergy effects, cost reductions, market expansion at home or abroad, were missed by a wide margin. – See agglomeration effect, alliances, cross-border, foreign bank branch, bank operation size, optimal, bank size, assertion strategy, contestability, Gibrat rule, gigabank, size confidence, consolidation, correspondent bank relationship, megamania, octopus, Penrose theorem, Sifi oligopoly, subsidiarity principle, transaction bonus, takeover bid. – Cf.
