Hungarian Széchenyi Bank May Buy Raiffeisen
Austria’s Raiffeisen Bank is considering an offer from Széchenyi Kereskedelmi Bank for Raiffeisen Magyarország, Magyar Hírlap reported without citing sources. The government last year bought a 49% stake in Széchenyi Bank, whose majority owner T&T is controlled by István Töröcskei, head of the state debt manager ÁKK.

The government may also file a bid for the Hungarian operations of Erste Bank, Magyar Hírlap learnt from government sources.
