Giuseppe Castagna, Chief Executive Officer of Banco BPM, has commented on the bank's position regarding recent regulatory decisions and market consolidation. In April 2025, Castagna stated that the bank had been subject to "unexpected decisions" regarding the "mancato riconoscimento del compromesso animo," which he said impacted a reduction of one billion euros in distribution to shareholders. He declined to comment on the implications of these decisions for Unicredit, stating that Unicredit must determine how they affect its valuation of Banco BPM. Castagna noted that the bank would continue to pursue growth paths consistent with its strategic line, but would not consider operations solely for the sake of becoming larger. Castagna has also addressed the bank's performance and market perception. He said that despite a strong track record of meeting or exceeding targets, the market requires time to fully value the bank's stock. He expressed confidence in the bank's potential following its industrial plan and the acquisition of Anima, and stated that the bank would wait for quarterly results to increase its value. In earlier appearances, Castagna discussed the bank's role in supporting the economy, the importance of digitalization and branch-based advisory services, and the need for a cohesive European approach to economic policy. He has also spoken about the bank's derisking plan and the sale of non-performing loans, describing the market for such assets as mature.
