UniCredit has pulled out of a potential bid for Russian lender Otkritie due to escalating tensions over Ukraine as the Italian group reported better than expected full-year profits.
由于乌克兰紧张局势升级，意大利裕信银行(UniCredit)退出了对俄罗斯银行Otkritie的潜在竞购。这家意大利银行公布的全年利润好于预期。
The Italian lender had shown interest in Otkritie, one of Russia’s largest state-run lenders, as it seeks to boost its profitability, Bloomberg reported this month.
据彭博社(Bloomberg)本月报道，这家意大利银行为了提高盈利能力，曾对俄罗斯最大的国有银行之一Otkritie表现出兴趣。
“Given the geopolitical environment we decided to withdraw from the data room,” UniCredit chief executive Andrea Orcel said in a media call on Friday.
裕信银行首席执行官安德里亚•奥塞尔(Andrea Orcel)周五在媒体电话会议上说：“鉴于地缘政治环境，我们决定撤出数据室。”
Russia’s central bank is planning to list Otkritie, which was nationalised in 2017, in an initial public offering.
俄罗斯央行正计划让Otkritie上市。该公司2017年被收归国有。
