Morawiecki: Poland eyes Unicredit's Pekao

Poland will seek to use UniCredit's potential sale of its stake in Pekao as an opportunity to increase control over the banking sector, Deputy Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki told the Polish Press Agency (PAP). "If such an opportunity comes up, then we will be looking at it with a particular interest and we do not exclude any scenarios," Morawiecki said. "It looks like the decision regarding changes in Pekao has been taken. In the (ruling party's) programme we say that if there are such opportunities on the market, then we will try to increase the stake of Polish institutions in the banking sector," he said.
