Marques Mendes says People’s Bank and Bank of China were out of the race to the New Bank

In the race to the New Bank fell by the wayside two candidates. In the usual comment on SIC, Luís Marques Mendes revealed that People’s Bank of China will no longer make binding proposals.

Of the seven candidates who have made non-binding bids for the purchase of New Bank were now five parties who will have to make their binding proposals.

The “short list” has already been chosen. By the way, as revealed Luís Marques Mendes, was the Spanish People’s Bank and the Chinese Bank of China.

For the next phase were still two Chinese, one American name, a Spanish and Portuguese.

It has been referred to the candidacy of Santander, BPI, Fosun, Anbang Insurance and Apollo.
