Carabulea: Many are knocking at our door and I cannot but open it

“Many people are knocking at our door and I cannot but open it. You have no way of knowing whether talks will materialise in a business partnership or in the sale of a stake,” Ilie Carabulea, the main shareholder of Banca Carpatica told ZF. He thus changes slightly the tone of his statements about a potential decision to sell the bank and no longer firmly dismisses information that had been circulating on the market, which suggested that Banca Carpatica was for sale. “With this web of capital concentration on the market, we believe that new times call for new strategies,” Carabulea now says. A month ago he stated that he was not willing to sell the bank because he could not find anything to do with the money. On the other hand, Carabulea now says that the rumours about the sale of the bank come from the competition, “which wants to cast us in a more or less favourable light”.
