In recent years, the Bank’s management has focused on the merger of two banking groups - Banca Intesa and Sanpaolo IMI, presently operating as Intesa Sanpaolo Group in 40 countries worldwide, and on overcoming the consequences of the global crisis. During the crisis, the Group did not stop investing in any moment, and in the past few years, it has invested even four billion euros.
- These two challenges are behind us and now we can focus on the strategy of sustainable growth. We have the capability to achieve a good organic growth and we are thinking of new acquisitions – Passera announced.
