Commerzbank hasn’t talked with UniCredit after ECB approval for stake

 ​Commerzbank has not engaged in discussions with UniCredit since the European Central Bank (ECB) granted the Italian lender approval to acquire up to a 29.9% stake in the German bank, according to Commerzbank CEO Bettina Orlopp. 

Key Developments:

  • ECB Approval: On March 14, 2025, UniCredit received authorization from the ECB to increase its stake in Commerzbank to just under 30%.

  • Pending Regulatory Decisions: German antitrust authorities have set an April 14 deadline to decide on initial approval for UniCredit's acquisition of a substantial stake in Commerzbank.

  • Future Considerations: UniCredit CEO Andrea Orcel indicated that a decision on pursuing a full takeover of Commerzbank might be delayed until 2027, influenced by factors such as Commerzbank's rising share price due to Germany's fiscal spending.

Despite regulatory approvals, the absence of direct talks between the two banks suggests that any significant developments regarding UniCredit's stake in Commerzbank may not be imminent.
