Spanish Bank Deal Brews to Create a Regional Powerhouse Charlie Devereux and Nicholas Comfort – Bloomberg CaixaBank SA's potential acquisition of Bankia SA would create a new powerhouse in Spanish finance, putting pressure on the country's other three top banks. A takeover, which may be announced within days, would allow the combined company to lead rivals Banco Santander SA and Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria SA in the domestic market by almost every measure, with more than 600 billion euros ($715 billion) of assets in Spain. In some key areas, CaixaBank is already No. 1 on its own. /bloom.bg/3hlnnzF
