Tomorrow at the table with the Minister of Economic Development, Corrado Passera, the ABI will arrive with a ceiling for investments of 5 billion euros and three different ways to liquidate the public administration's debts towards companies. This was reported by the president of ABI, Giuseppe Mussari, at the end of the executive committee of the association of credit institutions. Mussari has not wanted to go into the details of the three modalities for now, but he specified that "it is a significant effort in this phase", because the credit institutions "are aware of the moment of difficulty and in this way reaffirm the their nature as banks for households and businesses and not for households and businesses. The objective is to favor a greater and more regular transmission of liquidity flows”.
The three methods proposed will not be alternatives to each other but will be feasible together and will also contemplate assignment with recourse. Recipients of all performing companies. “The banks are here to solve a problem that both banks and businesses have – continued Mussari -. I do not find it reasonable that there is discrimination between companies and these solutions could allow companies to remain in bonis. Our initiative moves within this spirit of reasoning”.
In short, few details for now, but on the table is the ABI's willingness to express its willingness to address the issue and find a solution, also in the light of the amendments to the decree on tax simplifications concerning transfers with recourse.
"THEThe transfer with recourse is an important liquidity effort for the banks - said the President of the banking association - and aims not to have negative effects on the public debt. We are confident that this availability of the ABI will be accepted by the Minister of Economy and the Minister of Development”. At the same time, however, the ABI decisively asks the Government to promptly and rapidly implement the European directive on payments also among the companies themselves. "It is right that those who have debts pay them in congruous and non-biblical times", concluded Mussari.
