Ignazio Visco: 2013 World Savings Day

By Bank for International Settlements (BIS)

In this address, Ignazio Visco provides a somber yet resilient outlook on the Italian economy, noting a slight recovery in national savings to 18% of income despite a "double-dip" recession. He identifies a critical structural weakness: Italian firms' over-reliance on bank lending compared to their European peers.
