Nomura Singapore takes stake in Karnataka Bank

Pays US$2.1 billion for 1.17 million shares.

The buy-in by Nomura of the private lender Karnataka Bank based in Mangalore gives the Japanese firm 0.62% stake in the bank.
Karnataka Bank has a national presence and a network of 559 branches spread across 20 states and 2 Union Territories.

A recent announcement by the Reserve Bank of India that foreign lenders could be allowed to take over local banks has sent the share prices of mid-sized banks soaring.

Indian banks, however, continue to face massive challenges related to unstable macro-economic indicators, high interest rates and slowing growth.

The major shareholders of Karnataka Bank are LIC (5.54%), Kotak Mahindra Investments (3.22%), Religare Finvest (2.38%), JM Financial (1.72%) and Credit Suisse (1.66%).

What is Lorem Ipsum?

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
