Denmark's Den Danske bids for stake in Amerbank

Amerbank vice president Wlodzimierz Paszkowski said that management is holding negotiations with seven potential partners and will soon reveal its short list of banks that will be allowed to proceed to the next stage of negotiations. "We decided that not all of the banks will be given the chance to continue talks," he said. Paszkowski added that Amerbank plans to issue 2 million shares by the end of 1998, despite the fact that it just completed an issue of the same size. (Prawo i Gospodarka, page 6, Reuters)
