MILAN, 04 FEB – “Despite the cyclical slowdown, the main indicators of the state of health of the Italian banking system remain overall positive. The Governor of the Bank of Italy, Ignazio Visco says it in his speech at Assiom-Forex. “In the presence of a more rapid rise in lending rates, the increase in market yields favors banks with traditional operations, which in recent years had seen their profitability compressed by low interest margins”, underlines Visco.
