[속보] 금융위, 하나-외환 합병 승인
금융위원회는 27일 하나금융지주의 외환은행 자회사 편입 신청안을 승인했다고 밝혔다.외환은행 대주주인 론스타 펀드가 국내은행을 소유할 자격이 없는 산업자본(비금융주력자)이었고, 따라서 하나금융이 론스타와 맺은 계약 또한 무효라는 논란에 금융당국이 일단 종지부를 찍은 셈이다.금융권 관계자들은 향후 정치권 및 시민단체의 거센 반발과 함께 가처분신청을 포함한 줄 소송이 잇따를 것으로 내다보고 있다.(코리아헤럴드)<영문 기사>Hana Financial entitled to acquire KEBFinancial regulators endors
