Recent major banking deals in Europe have highlighted the issue of bank consolidation, notably with Spanish financial sector giant BBVA attempting to acquire its competitor Sabadell, which would create a credit giant exceeding one trillion euros in assets; although Sabadell’s board initially rejected the offer, BBVA has submitted the deal for regulatory approval. Separately, unofficial reports circulated in Bulgaria suggesting that PIB, the fifth-largest and largest bank owned by Bulgarians, is being considered for sale.
