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 expectations of a shake-up in the keeping money part were dashed.

Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB), Union National Bank (UNB) and Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank in particular articulations 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.

Gossipy tidbits have been circling as of late of more conceivable saving money 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 saving money division has been crushed in the course of recent years by lower government spending and stricter worldwide capital principles.

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

After the arrival of proclamations by the banks, exchanging on their shares continued.

Partakes in ADCB shut 2.65 percent bring down at 5.88 dirhams, while partakes in UNB fell 5.16 percent to 4.23 dirhams. ADIB's shares shut 0.83 percent bring down at 3.57 dirhams.

Abu Dhabi, the oil-rich capital of the United Arab Emirates, has been redoing its economy and squeezing ahead with solidifying state-possessed elements following two years of low oil costs that have weighed intensely on its incomes.

Beside the NBAD-FGB merger, Abu Dhabi is pushing ahead with the merger of two sovereign assets, Mubadala Development Co and International Petroleum Investment Co (IPIC), and as of late reported the merger of three of its colleges.

Preceding that, Abu Dhabi National Oil Company said it was combining two of its seaward oil and gas organizations.
