Roger Loppacher

Roger Loppacher is the president of the Autoridad Catalana de la Competencia (ACCO), an organization responsible for promoting and ensuring competition in the Catalan market. He has been vocal about the potential risks associated with bank mergers, particularly concerning the recent hostile takeover bid by BBVA for Banco Sabadell, warning that it could lead to reduced competition and 'exclusion financiera' for consumers. His insights are critical in the ongoing debate about the implications of banking consolidation in Catalonia.
