Caixa Geral de Depósitos is ditching its Brazilian bank for around 70 million euros, as indicated available reports from ECO. This move hints at CGD’s strategy to trim its international exposure and focus on core markets. The sale is set to close pending regulatory green lights, typical of such bank transfers.
Behind the Brazilian Bye-Bye
Reports suggest CGD’s exit from Brazil is driven the headache of running a foreign subsidiary bogged down Brazilian regulations. Why endure limited gains when costs stack up? Portuguese businesses are watching these restructuring moves, eyeing efficiency over expansion. Consider the parallel in TAP Air Portugal’s potential sell-off.
