ABN AMRO Bank N.V. (ENXTAM:ABN) is looking for M&A. Robert Swaak, Chief Executive Officer said, "M&A has been -- always has been a part of a strategy that we would always consider. As we've talked about M&A in the past, it hasn't changed today. If there is an opportunity that would help us execute our strategy more effectively and therefore, be accretive, but also financially accretive and certainly M&A is something that we take under consideration and that would then lead to necessary capital allocations.

So the way we're executing our strategy means that we stay committed to the choices we made around the segments, the growth segments, the geographical areas, and that will carry with it an associated capital allocation. And when M&A opportunity comes up, we will then take the consequences and review and clearly allocate as necessary".
