Under pressure on the Milan Stock Exchange, the shares of Unicredit and Monte dei Paschi di Siena , after the institute of Piazza Gae Aulenti and the Ministry of Economy and Finance announced over the weekend the interruption of negotiations for the acquisition of the Tuscan bank, due to the distance between the positions of the parties.

At the opening of the session in Piazza Affari, the two stocks suffer, with Mps which recorded a -5.13% (and a suspension), while the institute led by CEO Andrea Orcel fell by 3% and is now it is slowly rising, settling at around -1.6%.

Banco Bpm benefited from the halt to negotiations, which recorded an increase of 3.79% and which, however, until now has always declared itself not interested in the game.

Now for the Treasury - which holds 64% of the Sienese institute - the most probable hypothesis seems to be a request to the European Union for an extension of at least six months to carry out the agreed privatization (initially planned by the end of the year) , in order to start a negotiation with a new partner as soon as possible.
