MUFG is scanning for additional acquisitions and investments in Asia and elsewhere as it completes a 20% purchase of Indian lender Shriram Finance, said Masakazu Osawa, head of its core banking unit. Osawa flagged potential targets among non-bank financial companies but said MUFG’s exposure to private credit is limited and not expected to produce meaningful losses. He highlighted strong loan demand and rising domestic lending income, noted geopolitical and private-market risks, and pointed to increased cybersecurity spending. MUFG also plans to launch a digital bank this fiscal year to attract retail deposits and expand services. » Altro su finance.yahoo.com
