The Bank of Cyprus (BoC), the east Mediterranean island's largest bank, announced today it was making a cash and share bid for the Greek Emporiki Bank which valued the target at around 3.8 billion euros (4.8 billion dollars). The offer exceeds a rival 3.1-billion-euro bid by the French bank Credit Agricole last week to acquire 100 percent of Emporiki, Greece's fourth largest lender. Analysts believe the intervention of BoC could set off a bidding war with the French bank, while others have questioned how the smaller Cypriot bank will be able to support its bid.
