Market volatility won’t impact Mediobanca deal: Monte dei Paschi CEO
SHARE

Monte dei Paschi di Siena, the world’s oldest bank still in operation, is steadfast in its plans to acquire Mediobanca for 13 billion euros ($14.3 billion) despite ongoing market turbulence. The bank surprised investors in January with an all-share offer for Mediobanca, a prestigious institution focused on wealth management and investment banking. However, Mediobanca has rejected the proposal, calling it a “destructive” move without financial rationale.

Monte dei Paschi has faced numerous challenges over the years, including a government bailout in 2017 when it failed to raise necessary funds from private investors. The Italian government has since sold its majority stake in Monte dei Paschi, which now represents less than 12% of ownership.

CEO Luigi Lovaglio expressed confidence in the bank’s future, stating that Monte dei Paschi is “back” and “in control of our destiny.” Despite ongoing market turbulence, Lovaglio affirmed that the situation would not impact their deal with Mediobanca. He emphasized the importance of diversifying revenues and the benefits of being a larger, combined entity.

While some companies have put deals on hold due to market volatility, Monte dei Paschi remains committed to its acquisition plans. Analysts have expressed mixed opinions on the potential benefits of the deal, with some highlighting opportunities for Monte dei Paschi and others cautioning about limited synergies between the two banks.

Lovaglio defended the offer for Mediobanca as a “fair price” and indicated that the deal could be completed by July. Both Monte dei Paschi and Mediobanca shares closed lower amid global equity market pullback, with shares losing value since the acquisition announcement.

The bid for Mediobanca is part of a broader consolidation trend in Italian banking, with UniCredit also making a bid to acquire Banco BPM. Lovaglio sees these bids as the first phase of domestic consolidation for Italian banks, positioning Monte dei Paschi to be a key player in future consolidation efforts.

Overall, Monte dei Paschi remains focused on its larger ambitions and strategic growth plans despite market challenges. Lovaglio’s optimism and determination underscore the bank’s commitment to expanding its presence and solidifying its position in the financial sector.
