MPS CEO says plan for combined group with Mediobanca stands even with management changes

CEO Luigi Lovaglio reassured investors that the strategy for a combined Monte dei Paschi di Siena–Mediobanca group will persist despite potential changes at the helm. The remarks are intended to reduce governance and execution risk around the proposed combination but included no new financial details, synergies, or timing. This is a stability signal for shareholders but is unlikely to move the stock materially on its own.
