The board of the Intesa-Sanpaolo
bank on Wednesday said it was "ready" to take certain assets and
liabilities of troubled banks Banca Popolare di Vicenza and
Veneto Banca. It said non-performing loans (NPLs) and
subordinated bonds would not be included, not would Intesa
envisage capital hikes. It envisages the payment of a "symbolic"
sum for the operation. The two Veneto banks have been looking
for investors after suffering a string of losses and seeing
their NPLs rise.
