Nordea, the Nordic bank, is unlikely to be interested in acquiring the Dutch ABN Amro, according to Talouselama. The item cited Antti Saari, a share strategist from OP Bank who was commenting on Nordea’s results.
Nordea's share has risen since last summer by 60%, the item said, adding that there could be a M&A move from Nordea. Saari, however, said that it is unlikely Nordea will make another attempt to acquire ABN Amro after the Dutch election. According to him, it was merely a signal to show that Nordea my not keep its HQ in Sweden forever.
