DUBAI, Nov 20 (Reuters) - Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank ADIB.AD (ADIB) said on Sunday it was not in any merger talks.

The bank issued the bourse statement in response to a Bloomberg news story published last week which cited unnamed sources saying the Abu Dhabi government might engineer a merger between ADIB and Al Hilal Bank, and another between Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank ADCB.AD (ADCB) and Union National Bank UNB.AD (UNB). urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL8N1DL045

Trading of shares in ADIB, ADCB and UNB were suspended early on Sunday, an exchange source told Reuters.
