The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has granted approval for the proposed merger of Credit Suisse Group AG with UBS Group AG. Credit Suisse is a multinational investment bank and financial services company based in Switzerland, while UBS is a multinational investment bank and financial services company with a global presence. Both companies offer a range of services including wealth management, asset management, investment banking, and retail and corporate banking.
In India, UBS primarily focuses on brokerage services, while Credit Suisse’s operations in India involve wealth management and investment banking services. The proposed merger involves UBS acquiring Credit Suisse through an absorption merger, with UBS being the surviving legal entity.
The CCI’s approval of the proposed combination paves the way for the merger to proceed. A detailed order from the CCI regarding the approval will be issued in due course, providing more information about the decision.
