WASHINGTON, Jan 13 (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Reserve
announced on Tuesday it had approved the acquisition of regional
lender Comerica by Fifth Third, an all-stock
deal valued at $10.9 billion that would create the nation's
ninth-largest lender.
The deal was originally announced in October, and would mark
the largest bank deal of the year.
