The bank said that it received authorization to launch a 1 billion euro ($1.06 billion) share buyback program. The bank intends to acquire 564.6 million shares during the buyback which is scheduled to end no later than Sept. 21 of next year, the bank said. The European Central Bank green-lit the buyback plan which was disclosed back in July. This is the bank's second extraordinary buyback over the last two years.
