ROMA (ITALPRESS) – The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has concluded the periodic evaluation exercise on Italy, started in 2025, and published the final report (FSSA, Financial System Stability Assessment), which contains the main assessments on the stability of the Italian financial system.
In the conclusions of the IMF, the Italian financial system is “solid and resilient” and has demonstrated in recent years “to effectively address a particularly complex macrofinancial and geopolitical context. It is underlined the contribution provided by the appropriate levels of capital and liquidity of the banking system, the improvement of the quality of the assets and the strengthening of the profitability of the intermediaries; the progress made by the Italian authorities regarding the previous exercise of 2020, recalling the strengthening of supervisory practices, improvements in the macro-prudential framework and management of the crisis, the reduction of the deteriorated credits and the strengthening of the resilience of the financial system as a whole”.
The exercise has also deepened the main emerging risks for financial stability, including those arising from geopolitical tensions, climate change, cyber threats and interconnections between banks and non-bank financial intermediaries, as well as the role of financial market infrastructure, offering an overall assessment of the Italian financial system and its institutional framework. The document identifies specific areas in which further targeted interventions could help to further strengthen the resilience of the financial system in the medium-long term.
