Italian financial group Unipol has approved a strategic plan that aims to generate €3.8 billion in profits and distribute €2.2 billion in dividends over the next three years. The plan, which targets a total capital generation of €1 billion (approximately $1.1 billion), is designed to enhance Unipol's financial stability and support future investments. In related news, Poste Italiane is reportedly in discussions to acquire a stake of up to 25% in Telecom Italia (TIM), potentially positioning itself as the largest shareholder with the approval of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Additionally, Unipol's chairman has suggested that ING might be considering a bid for Popolare di Sondrio, indicating a possible shift in the competitive landscape of the Italian banking sector. The developments reflect ongoing strategic maneuvers within Italy's financial and telecommunications industries.
