ShareSansar, May 30:

As directed by the central bank, many banking and financial institutions (BFIs) have merged and many are seeking merger and acquisition. Such merger and acquisition have immense bearing on the shareholders of the BFIs concerned, though it also has some impact on the stock market itself.

Hence it is crucial to keep a close tab on the status of merger among the BFIs.  ShareSansar brings updated status of the BFIs have been merged of late as well as those well into the merger process and the mergers in the offing.

We have also compiled other relevant information regarding the merger such as the name of the merged entities as well as real or tentative dates of merger and the swap ratio.

We hope it will be beneficial for the bankers and other stakeholders, too.
