Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A. (BIT:ISP) will look for acquisitions. Carlo Messina Chief Executive Officer said, "At the same time, having a very good system, you can create conditions to have synergies in case of an acquisition. So there are also another part of the story that if you are state-of-the-art and we need probably another couple of years to become state-of-the-art on all the system of Intesa Sanpaolo.

So we are so the art on Isybank or mass market clients. But if you want to use on all the different segments of Intesa Sanpaolo, we need to have another couple of years in order to be sure to have a complete transformation of our IT system. But for sure, in making evaluation on M&A there will be the need for the future to add another way of looking at acquisitions".
