"It's the biggest change in the 300-year life of the Spanish savings banks," said Fernando Ruiz, chairman of Deloitte Spain. 
	
	The savings banks are calling for patience because 40 of the total 45 savings banks are currently under mergers talks. Merger operations are most advanced in Catalonia. 
	
	Fernández Ordóñez, governor of Bank of Spain, stressed that "the current pressure on the restructuring of the savings banks it is due to the need to reduce costs and increase efficiency”.
