Abstract
This short paper discusses the perspectives of Mergers and Acquisitions in the European Banking industry. It starts off to characterise the industry, which leads to a number of reasons why consolidation will continue and caveats boggling Mergers and Acquisitions in banking. It is almost certain, that Mergers and Acquisitions activities will increase in Europe. Although there will be even bigger units, there will also be more competition among banks this should eradicate profit margins and thus benefit the consumers.
