Download or read book A Century of Banking Consolidation in Europe written by Manfred Pohl and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the late nineteenth century to the late twentieth century the European banking sector experienced countless mergers and acquisitions. The outcome of this century of consolidation is strikingly similar across the continent, with the banking sector of each country now dominated by a handful of giant banking corporations. Consolidation and concentration trends in banking was the theme of the Academic Archive Colloquium of the European Association for Banking History held in Madrid in June 1997. This volume is comprised of the 18 papers and responses presented at the Colloquium by a truly international group of delegates. Some of the themes explored in the book include: the significance of mergers for bank archives; the regulation of mergers and their impact on banking legislation; reactions to consolidation from within and without the banking industry; case studies of particular mergers and their impact on the wider banking community. Youssef Cassis's introductory chapter provides a general survey of trends in the consolidation process and suggests that the advent of the Euro may herald a new era in the history of European banking consolidation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2002 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1,0 (A), Berlin School of Economics, course: International Corporate Finance, language: English, abstract: The last decade of the 20th century was a decade of enormous changes in the banking sector worldwide. If one compares the largest banks of the world in 1995 with those at the end of 2000 it is obvious to see that many changes have happened in recent years: In 1995 all top five banks were from Japan (total assets in million USD in brackets): Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank (626,171), Sumitomo Bank (617,053), Sakura Bank (607,245), Sanwa Bank (600,111) and Fuji Bank (587,154. At the end of 2000 the top five banks ranked by total assets were: Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp., Japan (958,189), CitiGroup, USA (902,210), Deutsche Bank Group, Germany (882,577), HSBC Holdings, U.K. (673,814) and Bayerische HypoVereinsbank, Germany (672,720). These newly-formed banking groups arose from mergers and acquisitions (M&As) and therefore they are good examples for all the M&As that have taken place in the banking sector worldwide in recent years. In this scientific paper the M&A activity in the banking sector is being analysed on a global basis and, where appropriate, with a special focus on European activities. To do so, the following procedure has been chosen: After the presentation of typical patterns of consolidation the main causes of consolidation and risks arising from M&As will be examined. Afterwards the economical results of the M&A process will be analysed to give a conclusion and an estimation on future activities

Download or read book Assessing the Performance of Banking M As in Europe written by Rym Ayadi and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European banking sector consolidated at a rapid pace throughout the 1990s. It was pushed along by several concurrent factors: the deregulation of banking activities, the further integration of the European financial market, financial globalization, technological and financial innovations, the imperative of value creation, and the introduction of the euro. Far from slowing down, this consolidation process is expected to accelerate over the coming years. This book examines the performance of mergers and acquisitions (M&As) in the banking industry in Europe and introduces a new conceptual approach for assessing the phenomenon. The results show that the economic and financial performance of a banking M&A depends on its underlying strategy. This strategy is based on two factors: a bank's initial activities and its geographical reach. The book demonstrates that achieving the optimal combination of these two factors is critical to the success or failure of an M&A.

Download or read book Bank Mergers Acquisitions written by Yakov Amihud and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the financial services industry becomes increasingly international, the more narrowly defined and historically protected national financial markets become less significant. Consequently, financial institutions must achieve a critical size in order to compete. Bank Mergers & Acquisitions analyses the major issues associated with the large wave of bank mergers and acquisitions in the 1990's. While the effects of these changes have been most pronounced in the commercial banking industry, they also have a profound impact on other financial institutions: insurance firms, investment banks, and institutional investors. Bank Mergers & Acquisitions is divided into three major sections: A general and theoretical background to the topic of bank mergers and acquisitions; the effect of bank mergers on efficiency and shareholders' wealth; and regulatory and legal issues associated with mergers of financial institutions. It brings together contributions from leading scholars and high-level practitioners in economics, finance and law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Business economics - Marketing, Corporate Communication, CRM, Market Research, Social Media, grade: 1,0, European School of Business Reutlingen, language: English, abstract: The current financial crisis has caused governments and central banks to compete, who will achieve the biggest bail-out- and economic stimulus package including the lowest interest rates. These are supposed to slow down the worldwide recession and avoid a deflation. The current crisis has parallels to the "great depression" in the 1930th and therefore is also called the "great re-pression". The German Government has also installed a safety shield, worth 480 billion Euro for financially suffering banks and financial institutions. Thus, the Financial Markets Stabilization Act was created. It only took a week to pass the bill which is unknown off in Germany and therefore shows the importance of this law. It enables the government to act further than the German Basic Law would allow. The Commerzbank was the first German bank to claim a part of governments help. This was due to high losses in the 4th quarter of 2008 and the acquisition of Dresdner Bank. ...]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presented in this book is a comprehensive empirical analysis of mergers and acquisitions in the U.S. banking industry. The purpose of the study is to examine the merger phenomenon in the banking industry by answering the following questions: - What are the incentives for banks to merge? - Has the prohibition of interstate banking prevented banks from diversifying and has it increased the rate of bank failures by restricting (geographical) diversification opportunities? - Are bank mergers wealth-creating activities and how are the gains/losses from a merger distributed between the acquiring and acquired bank shareholders? - How can the changes in shareholder wealth resulting from bank mergers be explained and are there differences between interstate and intrastate mergers? - What are the implications of the study's findings for regulatory policy? Theory and practical implications are blended in this book which should appeal to both academics and practitioners in the field

This book was released on 2005-05-10 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial services industry has shown trends of increased consolidation across different types of financial institutions. This book focuses on the conglomeration of banking and insurance activities among financial institutions of the 15 old members of the European Union, and addresses the development and impact of conglomeration linkages between these fifteen and the ten new member states. Most of the large groups combining banking and insurance activities groups among the former member states of the European Union are often linked to the largest such institutions in the new member states, having created the linkages mainly through Merger & Acquisition Activities; with greater accent on the banking sector and lesser connections on insurance side. Financial conglomeration linkages between the EU-15 and the new member states highlight investment attractiveness of the new members, with the appeal of new markets that allow the presence of more participants. Both institution-specific and country-specific factors play role in conglomeration across the new member states.

Download or read book Bank Mergers written by S. Davis and published by Springer. This book was released on 2000-08-10 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the wall of evidence that bank mergers add little or no value, investors and management continue to fuel the consolidation wave. This book draws on the actual experience of senior executives in over 30 banks with extensive merger experience to demonstrate how most mergers do in fact fail to meet objectives. It explores in detail the issues of strategic positioning, cost and revenue synergies, due diligence, IT selection and conversion, people selection, cultural conflict, leadership, and the decision-making time frame. It concludes that experienced and determined leadership, significant net cost savings, swift decision-making and the cost of IT integration are key variables for success. It also suggests that the prospect of more cross-border mergers and modest short-term cost savings argues for a new pact between investors and bank management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich Ingenieurwissenschaften - Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen, Note: 1,3, Universität Karlsruhe (TH), Veranstaltung: Unternehmensfinanzierung, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In der internationalen Wirtschaftswelt hat in den letzten Jahren keine Entwicklung solch große Aufmerksamkeit genossen wie Mergers & Acquisitions. Ihr Volumen ist seit 1995 weltweit um 36 Prozent jährlich gestiegen, in Europa sogar um 42 Prozent. Die schlechte Verfassung der Kapitalmärkte in den Jahren 2001 und 2002 hat zwar dazu geführt, dass Fusionen und Akquisitionen sowohl zahlen- als volumenmäßig abgenommen haben, man kann aber davon ausgehen, dass sie weiterhin ein wichtiges Restrukturierungsinstrument bleiben. Die Hauptanzahl der Veröffentlichungen zu diesem Thema findet man in den USA. Aber auch in Europa werden zunehmend mehr Untersuchungen durchgeführt, da seit den 80er Jahren besonders im europäischen Raum immer mehr Fusionen und Übernahmen stattgefunden haben. Die fortschreitende Deregulierung der nationalen europäischen Märkte und die Einführung des Euro haben diesen Trend weiter angetrieben. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es darzustellen, welche Auswirkungen bestimmte Faktoren auf den Erfolg von Fusionen und Übernahmen in Europa haben. Hierfür wird zunächst ein Einblick in das Thema Mergers and Acquisitions gegeben. Neben den Begriffsinhalten wird die Situation in Europa erläutert und auf die Motive der Käufer und Verkäufer eingegangen. Nach einer Einführung in die Empirischen Grundlagen werden Untersuchungen über Fusionen und Übernahmen herangezogen und die wichtigsten Ergebnisse vorgestellt. Anschließend wird die Untersuchung von Campa und Hernando (2004) herangezogen. In dieser Studie werden Europäische M&As in dem Zeitraum von 1998-2000 betrachtet. Es werden die Aktienkurse der fusionierenden Unternehmen untersucht um zu ermitteln, welche Faktoren bei einer Fusion oder Übernahme sich positiv und welche sich negativ auf den Shareholder Value auswirken. Hierzu werden die kumulierten abnormalen Renditen in einem Zeitfenster um den Tag der Ankündigung analysiert. Wie man diese kumulierte abnormale Rendite berechnet und welche Ergebnisse man aus ihr gewinnen kann, wird zuvor erörtert. Festzustellen sind unter anderem Unterschiede bei nationalen und internationalen Fusionen oder regulierten und nicht regulierten Industrien. Anhand einer Regressionsanalyse werden diese Faktoren in Beziehung zueinander gesetzt um weitere Ergebnisse bezüglich ihrer Auswirkungen auf den Shareholder Value zu ermitteln. Abgeschlossen wird die Seminararbeit mit einer kritischen Betrachtung und einer kurzen Zusammenfassung der wichtigsten Ergebnisse.

Download or read book Euro Area Banking at the Crossroads written by Agnes Belaisch and published by INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND. This book was released on 2001-04-01 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyses the process of disintermediation, the progress in consolidation, the impact of new technologies, and the role of ownership and control structures for the euro area banking sector. The impact of these trends on competition policy, "too big to fail" concerns, and financial stability is investigated. In this setting, the paper endorses stronger cross-border coordination among supervisory authorities but notes that more formal cross-border arrangements through supranational agencies seem, at this stage, premature. However, an increased capacity to perform centralized market surveillance, building on domestic supervisory information, is needed to ensure the efficiency and stability of euro-area financial markets.
