BERLIN (Reuters) – Commerzbank is considering its own acquisitions, for example in the area of asset management, its CEO Bettina Orlopp told German business news outlet WirtschaftsWoche in an interview published on Friday.
“With further acquisitions, we are focusing on offering our customers new services,” said Orlopp.
Italy’s UniCredit is pressing for a possible tie-up with Commerzbank in what would be the most ambitious attempt yet at a pan-European bank merger.
