Germany Sees No UniCredit Full Bid for Commerzbank; No Talks with Italian Counterpart, Meloni Comments

The German Finance Ministry has confirmed that there are no planned meetings between the German and Italian finance ministers regarding UniCredit's potential advance on Commerzbank. German officials do not anticipate UniCredit pursuing a full acquisition bid for Commerzbank at this time. German Finance Minister Christian Lindner has not discussed the matter with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who stated she is not obligated to advise Lindner on handling international political matters, including those involving former U.S. President Donald Trump. The situation suggests that UniCredit's ambitions concerning Commerzbank remain tentative and without immediate action.
