TORONTO (Reuters) - Bank of Nova Scotia
Scotiabank said its stake in Scotiabank Peru will rise to 98 percent from 78 percent as a result of the purchase from Intesa Sanpaolo, Italy's biggest retail bank. No financial terms were disclosed.
In December 2005, Scotiabank announced its purchase of Banco Wiese Sudameris and Banco Sudamericano, which were combined to form Scotiabank Peru, the country's third largest bank.
