AUSTRALIA-ECONOMY-BANKWEST
People walk past a BankWest sign as the Commonwealth Bank of Australia announced it is ready to take over BankWest and St Andrew's Australia from their troubled UK-based parent, HBOS plc, for $2.1 billion Australian dollars (1.47 billion USD), in Melbourne on October 8, 2008. The nation's biggest mortgage lender said the purchase was conditional on all necessary competition, regulatory and government approvals. The Commonwealth Bank said it would maintain and grow the BankWest brand after the takeover but the Commonwealth Bank said the purchase did not extend to HBOS's other Australian businesses, Capital Finance Australia, BOS International (Australia) and HBOS's Australian Treasury operations.
