ABN AMRO Group N.V. is a Dutch bank group, consisting of ABN AMRO Netherlands, ABN AMRO Private Banking, the International Diamond and Jewelry Group, and Fortis Bank Netherlands. The group was formed after the Dutch government nationalised the Dutch part of Fortis on October 3, 2008 to prevent the bank and insurer succumbing to the Financial crisis of 2007–2010. The insurance arm of Fortis has been split off as ASR Nederland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=insurer Fortis Insurance continued as ASR )〕 When the group was formed, the Dutch government had a 97.8% stake in Fortis Bank Netherlands Holding NV, a 100% stake in Fortis Insurance Netherlands NV, and a 33.8% stake in RFS Holdings BV. It said that the banks would be integrated and merged into one organisation under the name ABN AMRO Bank N.V. before an exit would occur. The merger was completed on 1 July 2010 and the Dutch government has said that the bank will remain under state ownership until at least 2011 after which it would consider a public listing on the stock market. ==Credit crisis== In 2007, the RFS consortium (consisting of Royal Bank of Scotland, Fortis and Banco Santander), acquired the Dutch bank ABN AMRO for approximately €72 billion (or approximately €39 per share). As part of the deal Fortis bank gained the Private Banking, Asset Management and the ABN AMROs Netherlands Business Unit for which it paid €24 billion. It had planned to merge these businesses with its own operations in the Netherlands and expected the integration to be completed by late 2009. However the acquisition had depleted Fortis banks reserves and it got into serious trouble in 2008 as the credit crunch took hold. Prior to the financial problems, the European Union competition commissioner had ruled that for the acquisition to be approved, Fortis would need to sell part of the business it acquired from ABN AMRO. To do this Fortis split the group under the name ''NEWbank'' and planned to sell it to Deutsche Bank, however the sale was stopped by the Dutch government at the time of nationalization 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Sale Parts ABN AMRO )〕 and the deal was renegotiated. In September 2008 Fortis announced that its share of ABN AMRO Bank was for sale again. However, no buyer could be found.〔(Fortis confirms injection EUR11, 2 billion, would sell ABN Amro )〕〔(ING buys ABN Amro from Fortis' ) Trouw, September 29, 2008〕〔(ING does not bid for ABN Amro Netherlands ) NRC, September 29, 2008〕 and therefore on October 4, 2008, the Dutch government announced that it would acquire all the Dutch operations of Fortis, including ABN AMRO for €16.8 billion. Within this package ABN AMRO was the largest component. The plan was that ABN AMRO and the Dutch part of Fortis would be integrated and eventually sold. On 1 July 2010 the bank completed the final stage of a complex restructuring, that saw the creation of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ABN AMRO Group」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
