Briefings

Angolan state oil company Sonangol is considering increasing its stake in Banco Português de Crédito (BCP) if Chinese bank Fosun sells its position. Sonangol holds 19.9% indirectly in Galp and 20.45% directly in BCP, but must sell BCP shares to stay under the 20% regulatory limit. Sonangol's president stated the company views its BCP and Galp stakes as strategic assets, yet has not yet decided to increase its stake if Fosun exits.

Key points

• Sonangol holds 19.9% indirectly and 20.45% directly in BCP, requiring it to sell BCP shares to avoid exceeding the 20% regulatory limit.
• Sonangol's president stated the company views its BCP and Galp stakes as strategic assets, but has not yet decided to increase its stake if Fosun exits.

Context

Sonangol is evaluating potential increases in its stake in BCP if Fosun sells its position. The bank's shares rose 1.8% to 1.118 euros, up 23% since the start of the year, outperforming PSI.

Limitations

Sonangol has not yet decided to increase its stake if Fosun exits. The article does not specify the exact percentage increase Sonangol might make, nor does it confirm whether Fosun is selling its position or if Ageas will step in to acquire 5% of BCP.
