Fairfax Financial buys majority stake in India's IDBI Bank
Original: Canada's Fairfax Financial Holdings buys majority stake in India's IDBI Bank
Canada's Fairfax Financial Holdings has agreed to acquire a majority stake in IDBI Bank, one of India's state-backed lenders, according to a Reuters report. The deal would mark a significant foreign investment in India's banking sector, which the government has been opening to private capital through asset sales. Details on the price and timing were not included in the initial report.
Why now: A Canadian firm taking control of a major Indian state-linked bank is a notable cross-border financial deal with implications for India's privatisation push.
