Banks, Abi “Competitiveness and growth with single market and simplification”

ROMA (ITALPRESS) – Today the XXVIth edition of the conference “Supervision, Risks & Profitability”, the annual meeting promoted by the ABI and organized by ABIUtilities, in Milan at the Auditorium Bezzi Banco BPM with the participation of representatives of the institutions, the supervisory authorities, academics and experts of the field.

“In a phase characterized by profound economic, technological and increasing geopolitical tensions, it is essential to strengthen Europe’s capacity to mobilize savings towards productive investments and support the growth of the real economy. The Savings and Investments Union is a strategic step towards enhancing Europe’s wealth of savings, promoting greater funding opportunities for families and businesses, mobilizing private savings towards innovation, digital transition, strengthening the autonomy and competitiveness of the European economy,” said Deputy Director-General Vicar of ABI, Gianfranco Torriero, intervening at the opening plenary session.

“To achieve these objectives – continued Torriero – it is necessary to accompany the path of integration of financial markets with a more simple, coherent and efficient regulatory framework. Simplifying does not mean deregulation: it means building a more balanced, proportionate and efficient regulatory framework, able to preserve financial stability and, at the same time, strengthen the ability of banks to finance families, businesses and strategic investments. In this context, the ABI intends to continue to play its role as an active partner of national and European institutions, contributing with analysis, proposals and moments of comparison, to the definition of a regulatory framework capable of combining the effectiveness of supervision, risk management, innovation and growth”.

The Deputy Director-General Vicar of ABI, Torriero, also stated that “The geopolitical volatility has returned to the center of the economic and financial scenario. For banks this means operating in a more complex context, in which international shocks are quickly transmitted to the real economy, affecting growth, inflation, credit demand and investment capacity.”.

The 2026 edition of “Supervision, Risks & Profitability” thus confirms a moment of discussion and deepening for banks, financial intermediaries, institutions, authorities, enterprises and professionals called to manage the increasing complexity of the regulatory and operational context.
