Potential sale of Berlin's Commerz stake to UniCredit

(ANSA) - BELGRADE, AUG 17 - Senior German government officials are willing to discuss the potential sale of Commerzbank's 12.7% stake to UniCredit if the two banks can agree on a common strategy. Bloomberg reports that this position does not represent the government's official stance. Some officials believe a sale at a fair price with guarantees for Commerzbank's future is acceptable. A German government spokesperson told Bloomberg that the position had not changed and declined to comment. Representatives from Commerzbank and UniCredit declined to comment. (ANSA).
