两名直接知情人士称，法国农业信贷银行（CAGR.PA）已向意大利示意，作为其向意大利人民银行（BPM）提出的合并交易的一部分，该行对出售基金管理公司Anima Holding（ANIM.MI）持开放态度。
France's Credit Agricole (CAGR.PA) has signalled to Italy it would be open to a sale of fund manager Anima Holding (ANIM.MI) as part of the merger deal it has proposed with Banco BPM (BAMI.MI), two people with direct knowledge of the matter said.
出售Anima可能有助于化解意大利国内对意大利人民银行与法国农业信贷银行意大利子公司合并交易的政治阻力，也可能避免与法国农业信贷银行旗下的欧洲最大基金管理公司东方汇理（Amundi，AMUN.PA）产生业务重叠。
A sale of Anima could address any political resistance in Italy to a deal combining Banco BPM and the Italian unit of Credit Agricole. It could also avoid overlap with Credit Agricole-owned Amundi (AMUN.PA), Europe's biggest fund manager.
知情人士此前对路透表示，为打消意大利政府的顾虑——意大利政府对银行合并拥有审查权——法国农业信贷银行已非正式地向罗马方面提供了一系列保证，涉及交易的结构安排，包括投资于意大利政府债券的客户储蓄。
To overcome possible reservations by Italy's government, which has vetting powers on bank mergers, Credit Agricole has informally offered Rome a number of guarantees over how a deal will be structured including over customer savings invested in Italian government bonds, people have previously told Reuters.
其中一名知情人士称，如果法国农业信贷银行意大利子行并入意大利人民银行的计划得以推进，这家法国银行已提出，可将意大利人民银行控股的Anima出售给政府认可的投资者。
One of the people familiar with the matter said the French bank had suggested the possibility of selling BPM-controlled Anima to investors the government views favourably if plans to fold Credit Agricole Italia into Banco BPM go through.
根据周一宣布的拟议条款，交易完成后，法国农业信贷银行在意大利第三大银行意大利人民银行的持股比例将从目前的29.3%提高至45%。
Under the proposed terms announced on Monday, the deal would lift to 45% Credit Agricole's current 29.3% share in Banco BPM, Italy's third-largest bank.
法国农业信贷银行拒绝置评。Anima和意大利人民银行的代表未立即回应置评请求。
Credit Agricole declined to comment. Representatives for Anima and Banco BPM did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
