Fortis and the cross consortium mega merger

The acquisition of ABN AMRO fits seamlessly into the growth strategy of Fortis, says Gilbert Mittler, Member of Group Executive Committee, responsible for Finance, Risk and General Counsel at Fortis. The bank insurer has strengthened its position as one of the largest financial service providers in Europe thanks to the acquisition of ABN AMRO. Mittler will share during this session how the ABN AMRO mega merger was approached, how the funding was organised in the last three to five years, and the strategy Fortis intends to follow over the coming years.
