Abu Dhabi banks shares fall amid denial of merger talks

Three Abu Dhabi banks denied they were in merger chats on Sunday, sending their share costs lower as speculator any desires for a shake-up in the managing an account area were dashed.

Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB), Union National Bank (UNB) and Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank in isolated proclamations to the bourse each denied they were included in merger arranges.

Partakes in the loan specialists had been suspended before on Sunday until they reacted to a Bloomberg news story distributed a week ago, a trade source told Reuters. The story refered to anonymous sources as saying the Abu Dhabi government was measuring a merger amongst ADCB and UNB, and another amongst ADIB and Al Hilal Bank. Al Hilal is not recorded.

Bits of gossip have been flowing as of late of more conceivable managing an account tie-ups after Abu Dhabi's two biggest banks, National Bank of Abu Dhabi (NBAD) and First Gulf Bank (FGB), concurred a merger that is relied upon to be finished in the primary quarter of 2017.

Swarmed with more than 50 banks, the UAE managing an account area has been crushed in the course of recent years by lower government spending and stricter worldwide capital standards.

Partakes in ADCB, UNB and ADIB hopped a week ago on restored theory about conceivable mergers.
