The presidents of ABI Patuelli and Acri Profumo were present.
"The Day of Savings is characterized, this year, by a recovery in the pace of production and in household consumption, which is associated with a recovery in loans. The improved climate of confidence will help to rapidly mobilize a precious resource, such as that of household savings, protected by the Constitution, contributing to the restart ". This is the message of the President of the Republic, Sergio
Mattarella
, on World Savings Day.
THE PERFUME INTERVENTION
- To 'thaw' the savings of Italians "blocked on the current accounts of families and businesses" and reached 1800 billion euros to transform them "into profitable investments for the future of the country" "tax incentives" are not enough but it is necessary to carry on the vaccination campaign, "the restart of activities, the progressive reopening of places for recreation and aggregation, the reactivation of schools in attendance". This was stated by
the president of Acr
i Francesco Profumo in his speech at the opening of the day of savings. "All of this can help spread a climate of growing trust and hope," he said.
PATUELLI -
"Banks must face the complex phase following the moratoriums and prudently foresee the growth of impaired loans that should not be underestimated or overestimated, also in order not to alter the market". This was stated by
the president of ABI
Antonio Patuelli in his speech. "Banks must not be forced to sell off the impaired with too short and rigid deadlines" adds the president of the banking association according to whom "we will evaluate the effects of the reform of civil justice". To strengthen and prolong the recovery, Italy must be more competitive in attracting savings and investments "and" it is necessary to fiscally distinguish speculators from "cassettist" savers and to spread popular shareholding, strengthening the roots and the prospective solidity of companies. ", added Patuelli, according to which" the State would also have advantages from greater investments in savings: today it collects negligible sums from taxation at 26% of the liquidity deposited in current accounts which,with negative European rates, an average of 0.02% of gross interest accrues in Italy "." The levels of tax burden defined long ago, long before the pandemic, are not dogmas. More protection of savings, more equity and more fight against tax evasion are decisive ingredients for a prolonged conspicuous recovery ", he concluded.
