This is because the change in governance will probably boost profitability but, first and foremost, will facilitate M&A transactions.
In order to analyze which are the most probable candidates for banking mergers, we thoroughly studied the differences in market shares of each bank. Then, we proceeded with a deep financial analysis on the loan books and on the capital ratios.
Finally, after making the proper assumptions, we selected the best candidates for an M&A transaction and evaluated possible trading strategies to be implemented.
