意大利第二大银行UniCredit（CRDI.MI）周一据工会文件所示，已签署协议，从法国同业Societe Generale（SOGN.PA）回购其证券服务业务。
Italy's second-biggest bank, UniCredit (CRDI.MI), has signed an agreement to repurchase its securities-services business from French peer Societe Generale (SOGN.PA), according to a union document seen by Reuters on Monday.
该部门负责保管投资者证券并处理相关行政服务，文件显示该部门在米兰和都灵共有54名员工，但未披露协议的任何财务细节。
The unit, which looks after investors' securities and handles related administrative services, has 54 staff in Milan and Turin, according to the document, which did not provide any financial details of the agreement.
Societe Generale于2006年收购了UniCredit的证券服务部门，并建立长期合作伙伴关系，为意大利银行提供这些服务。供应合同上次续签是在2017年，有效期至2026年。
Societe Generale bought UniCredit's securities services unit in 2006, striking a long-term partnership to handle those services for the Italian bank. The supply contract was last renewed in 2017 until 2026.
文件称，UniCredit正在努力将其视为战略的业务内部化，此次交易正是该努力的一部分。
UniCredit is seeking to bring in-house activities it deems strategic, and the transaction is part of that effort, the document said.
UniCredit和Societe Generale表示，自行处理证券业务将减少对外部供应商的需求，并提升业务数据的利用效率，但两家公司目前尚未就置评请求作出即时回应。
Handling the securities itself will reduce the need for an external supplier and improve use of the business' data, UniCredit and Societe Generale did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
