La consellera de Territorio and spokesperson for the Generalitat, Sílvia Paneque, has defended the Government’s willingness to «preserve a decentralized banking model» in Catalonia, after the CNMC endorsed BBVA’s takeover of Banc Sabadell.
She stated that this model «serves the proximity of the citizens of Catalonia and SMEs very well,» in statements to the media on Thursday during an event in Blanes (Girona).
She also assured that the Government will analyze the CNMC report with «care, rigor, and depth» to see what conclusions can be drawn.
