UNICREDIT SPA CEO Andrea Orcel has amassed a stake approaching 50% in COMMERZBANK AG, shifting the balance of power after a two-year takeover battle. The cross-border pursuit has overcome political resistance from Germany, where officials once sought to block foreign control of a core lender to the Mittelstand. The consolidation aligns with the European Central Bank's push for larger, unified institutions across the euro zone.
