Any Commerzbank takeover by UniCredit not subject to investment screening, German government source says

BERLIN (Reuters) – Germany will not subject any potential takeover of Commerzbank (ETR:) by Italy’s UniCredit to an investment screening, a German government source said on Thursday.

The source said that was regardless of whether the German lender were considered so-called critical infrastructure or not.

UniCredit wasn’t immediately available for comment.
