Rome, October 30 (askanews) – "Absolutely not." This was Intesa Sanpaolo Bank CEO Carlo Messina's response, on the sidelines of Savings Day in Rome, to those who asked him whether an increase in the offer for Monte dei Paschi di Siena was conceivable. Now, "the antitrust authority will decide what needs to be done. I have already reiterated my full confidence in it."
Regarding the local area and employment at Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena, "our project provides a full guarantee of employment and a full guarantee of hiring young people, something that isn't always found in other projects. We have always done this and will continue to do so. I believe that our consistency in always doing what we say is the best guarantee for the local area and for the people," he continued. "In particular, my sensitivity to people is, I believe, one of our bank's strengths.
We will therefore invest heavily in the territory and it seems to me that, at this point, these defensive strategies having disappeared – he said – it is best to evaluate things with a vision that leads us to look at our proposals with great serenity and not exploit them in a negative way".
