Barclays buys Italian mortgage business
Britain’s Barclays bank said on Thursday it has bought the Italian residential mortgage business of Australia’s Macquarie bank.
Barclays, which raised ��7 billion ($12 billion) from Middle Eastern investors last month, is not disclosing the amount it paid Macquarie Group Limited for the business. The purchase increases the value of Barclays mortgage book by 1 billion euros ($1 billion)-or nearly 10%.
Before this deal, Barclays mortgage book was worth roughly 12 billion euros ($15 billion).
������Our existing Italian mortgage business has grown through the combination of a prudent lending policy and careful management of customer relationships,������ said Frits Seegers, CEO of Barclays retail and commercial banking arm. ������This acquisition augments that business.������
