    School of Economics & Business Administration Master of Science in Management “MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS IN THE GREEK BANKING SECTOR.” Panolis Dimitrios 1102100134 Teti Kondyliana Iliana 1102100002 30th September 2010 Acknowledgements We would like to thank our families for their continuous economic and psychological support and our colleagues in EFG Eurobank Ergasias Bank and Marfin Egnatia Bank for their noteworthy contribution to our research. Last but not least, we would like to thank our academic advisor Dr. Lida Kyrgidou, for her significant assistance and contribution. Panolis Dimitrios Teti Kondyliana Iliana ii Abstract M&As is a phenomenon that first appeared in the beginning of the 20th century, increased during the first decade of the 21st century and is expected to expand in the foreseeable future. The current global crisis is one of the most determining factors affecting M&As‟ expansion. The scope of this dissertation is to examine the M&As that occurred in the Greek banking context, focusing primarily on the managerial dimension associated with the phenomenon, taking employees‟ perspective with regard to M&As into consideration. Two of the largest banks in Greece, EFG EUROBANK ERGASIAS and MARFIN EGNATIA BANK, which have both experienced M&As, serve as the platform for the current study. Our results generate important theoretical and managerial implications and contribute to the applicability of the phenomenon, while providing insight with regard to M&As‟ future within the next years.

    I WHAT THE BANKS SAY ON SOUTH AFRICA . ' .. A Summary of Sank Statements Regarding Lending Policie$ tel South Africa by .. Fantu CheriJ anci J;m Winkler Program Associates r INTERFAITH CENTER ON CORPORATE RESPONS~B~LITV 475 R!v'3rside Drive • Room 56S • New York, NY 10115 (212) 870-2936 ,.. INTRODUCTION This report represents a revised updated version of the 1981 edition of ICCR's "What the Banks Say on South Africa." The listing in this revised edition is a sample of all U.S. banks doing business with South Africa. It includes both large international banks and smaller regional banks. "What Banks Say on South Africa" was recognized as a valuable document when it was produced in 1981. Since that time, efforts on the part of church shareholders to persuade major banks to discontinue lending or underwriting bond sales to South Africa have continued. One significant and noticeable change in bank policy is the decision of BankAmerica Corporation to prohibit new loans to the South African government and parastatai organizations "unless significant concrete steps have been taken to dismant.le the apartheid laws." As this report demonstrates, many of these banks have been involved in lending to South Africa in the past. Although it is difficult to determine the exact loan exposure of individual U.S. banks to South Africa, their combined loan exposure jumped from $2.2 billion in 1978 to $3.8 billion in 1983. The recent surge in external loans is the result of policy changes in Pretoria which encouraged the switching of trade financing from the domestic to the foreign lending market.

  • GGD-95-35 Interstate Banking in Three States B-258203
    United States General Accounting Office Report to the Chairman, Committee on GAO Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, U.S. Senate December 1994 INTERSTATE BANKING Experiences in Three Western States GAO/GGD-95-35 United States General Accounting Office GAO Washington, D.C. 20548 General Government Division B-258203 December 30, 1994 The Honorable Donald W. Riegle, Jr. Chairman, Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs United States Senate Dear Mr. Chairman: This report responds to your request that we review the potential impact of lifting restrictions on interstate banking. Supporters of a nationwide interstate banking law have argued that geographic restrictions no longer make sense in today’s integrated financial and credit markets and, further, undermine the ability of U.S. banks to compete domestically and internationally. Opponents, however, feared that relaxing geographic restrictions could result in a concentration of economic power among a relatively small number of banks. Given these conflicting views, you asked us to review the experiences of some states that have had interstate banking for some period of time. Congress recently passed legislation lifting some restrictions on interstate banking and branching. On September 29, 1994, the President signed into law the Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act,1 hereafter termed the Interstate Banking Efficiency Act. In our November 1993 report,2 we reported on interstate banking and its (1) potential effect on the banking industry’s structure nationwide; (2) implications for the safety and soundness of the banking industry, the Bank Insurance Fund3, and the economy; and (3) associated risks and ways to minimize them. In that report, we said that the best way to minimize the potential risks to the quality and availability of banking services arising from interstate banking is to ensure that markets remain competitive through vigilant antitrust enforcement and that laws and regulations governing credit availability are enforced.
