Goldman Sachs could be negotiating the acquisition of stake in Banco de Fomento Angola held by BPI

Goldman Sachs estaria buscando comprador para participação do BPI no Banco de Fomento Angola

Intel ID : 228391
Synopsis

Goldman Sachs is looking for possible buyers to acquire a 50.1% stake in Banco de Fomento Angola held by Portugal-based Banco BPI (Euronext Lisboa: BPI), as published by Jornal de Negócios on 19 August 2015.

According to the news, this sale is one of the solutions to reduce the group's exposure in Angola, required by European Central Bank, the less desired one.

BPI's need to reduce exposure in Angola, is a consequence of the fact that Angolan supervision has lost its status of equivalence with regards to European supervision, in January 2015. For this reason, and mainly due to Angola's public debt portfolio held by BFA, the bank began to exceed the limit of large risk by EUR 2.98bn regarding the Government of Angola and by EUR 184m regarding Banco Nacional de Antola, according financial statements of 2014.

O Goldman Sachs esta a buscar interessados na compra da participação de 50,1% no BFA - Banco de Fomento Angola que pertence a entidade financeira português Banco BPI (Euronext Lisboa: BPI), publicou o Jornal de Negócios em 19 de agosto de 2015.

De acordo com a notícia, a venda da operação angolana é uma das soluções para a redução da exposição do grupo de Fernando Ulrich ao mercado angolano, exigida pelo Banco Central Europeu, e seria a menos desejada.

A necessidade do Banco BPI reduzir a sua exposição a Angola resulta do facto de a supervisão deste país africano ter perdido o estatuto de equivalência face à fiscalização europeia em janeiro de 2015. Por esta razão, e sobretudo devido à carteira de dívida pública angolana do BFA, o banco passou a exceder o limite dos grandes riscos em EUR 2.979m relativamente ao Estado de Angola e em EUR 184m em relação ao Banco Nacional de Angola, segundo dados do final de 2014.
