Regulators Urge Deutsche Bank To Merge With European Rival (To Spread The Pain)
According to Bloomberg, the ECB is favoring a cross-border combination to drive integration in the region’s financial markets, while analysis by German regulator BaFin suggests a preference for a European deal because the two domestic banks – surprise – are currently too weak to benefit sufficiently from a merger.
In other words, merging one Too Big To Fail bank with another would only result in a teetering behemoth that will need an even greater bailout when the next financial crisis hits.
