MT Newswires Live07-13

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group (TYO:8316) is reviewing its India operations to streamline its presence and may shift most business through Yes Bank (BOM:532648, NSE:YESBANK), Bloomberg News reported Friday, citing people with knowledge of the matter.

The Japanese lender, amid regulatory shifts, may raise its stake in Yes Bank from 25%, the report said.

Raising its stake past 26% would force a mandatory open offer for Yes Bank, though discussions remain preliminary and no final decisions have been made, the publication said.

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial and Yes Bank did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
