Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) are a key phenomenon in financial markets. The volume of M&A transactions has risen since the 1990s in most countries and industries. The M&A phenomenon is particularly exciting in European banking: while European banking consolidation was a minor process during the 1990s in comparison to the U.S., the number and the value of deals in the European banking industry is currently similar to that of the U.S. Despite its importance, few books analyze M&A in European Banking. This book advances prior literature by focussing on some specific aspects that have been investigated by only a limited number of previous publications. In doing so, Mergers and Acquisitions in European Banking will help provide regulators and bankers with policy guidance regarding the re-organization of banks post-crisis
