🚨 Big win for ANZ as Suncorp Group takeover is back on! 🎉🦘 The 🇦🇺 Australian Competition Tribunal has overturned the ACCC's decision to block the merger between ANZ and Suncorp Group. This means that ANZ will be able to acquire Suncorp Group's banking arm for $4.9 billion, making it one of the biggest banks in 🇦🇺 Australia. The tribunal found that the merger would create public benefits and not lessen competition. Overall, this is a major win for ANZ and a big step forward for the bank's expansion plans. It will be interesting to see how the bank integrates Suncorp Group's operations and what impact this has on the 🇦🇺 Australian banking sector. 👉 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gGRJqGWv #anz #suncorp #merger #banking #australia
