BERLIN (Reuters) – The German government is not planning any talks with the management of Italy’s UniCredit on the potential takeover of Commerzbank, the Handelsblatt newspaper reported on Tuesday, citing a parliamentary response.
The newspaper cited a finance ministry official as writing: “Talks about a potential merger of two private companies are the responsibility of the respective bodies of these companies.”
