New items on the privatization dossier. The Ministry of Economy would be studying a new structure for the Cassa Depositi e Prestiti, evaluating the possibility of csee 15 percent of the capital. Corriere della Sera writes it today, which does not cite sources.
The operation, underlines the newspaper again, would leave the control of the CDP in the hands of the Treasury, which after the possible transfer of 15 per cent would in any case remain the owner of the 65 percent of the Cashier.
On the other hand, the sale could guarantee the state coffers five billion euros, which would be used to reduce the public debt. In fact, the assets of the entire CDP group exceed 33 billion.
It remains to be seen who that 15% could go to: institutional investors, funds or foreign banks. Any buyers they could be attracted by an attractive yield prospect, considering that the latest dividend distributed by CDP amounted to 850 million euros.
