The financial sector maintains the expectation on cross-border operations
Meanwhile, in the financial sector has not stopped talking to each other that we were going to produce cross-border mergers between large entities of the different countries of the EU. However, given the fact that no one moves. They have not even started the planned within the same country. It may be because the sector is the expectation of the changes that are occurring for the digital transformation and the changes of uses that have made them move to positions more social.
In Spain, in this case, there has been talk of operations that would be involved entities, medium-sized from the old boxes (Abanca, Unicaja, Liberbank, Ibercaja, Kutxabank) and banks such as Sabadell and Bankinter (Liberbank and Unicaja are still with contacts).

This bank is, next to the BBVA bank, of the so-called protagonist of such mergers on the mainland.

To achieve this it is necessary that the consuming sectors (transport, industry and building) is electrifiquen. There plays a key role the electricity sector to integrate renewable energy and achieve the lowest cost. In this process, the digitalization is indispensable, because it allows the consumer to adapt to the new possibilities of uses, such as the self-consumption, distributed generation and demand management.
