Precision Capital, a
Qatari investment group, has bought Dexia Banque Internationale a
Luxembourg (BIL) for €730m ($954m).

Precision Capital has
acquired a 90% stake in the Dexia BIL, which includes a private
banking unit, while the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg has acquired the
remaining 10%.

This move continues
Precision Capital’s expansion in Europe. PBI reported in October
that Precision Capital had bought another Luxembourg-based
private-banking unit, KBL, for €1.05bn.

Information on Precision
Capital, which is reportedly backed by the Qatari royal family,
remains scarce.
