UniCredit irks Rome with $11 billion Banco BPM swoop after German backlash

MILAN (Reuters) -Italy's UniCredit on Monday launched a surprise 10 billion euro ($11 billion) bid for domestic peer Banco BPM, which CEO Andrea Orcel said would take precedence over any potential move on Germany's Commerzbank.

"We cannot remain absent from that move," Orcel said, adding however that UniCredit still had no interest in MPS after walking away from taking the bailed-out peer off the state's hands in 2021.
