The board of directors of Enel, is scheduled to meet today, Thursday 15 October, but it is already known that no decision will be taken on the offer of around three billion euros which came from Macquarie for 50% of Open Fiber. The fund's proposal is valid until the end of the year, so it is likely that the board will not discuss it before mid-November. Moreover, the CEO of Enel himself, Francesco Starace, has reiterated several times that the offer must be carefully examined, also because it includes various clauses. Not only that: the possible sale of OF will have to be evaluated within the complex ongoing negotiations for the single network project to which the government has given the go-ahead, with the entry into the field of Cdp and the signing of the memorandum of understanding with Tim, a negotiation from which there are currently no signs of news.
Meanwhile, the electric group is increasingly focusing on services, also of a banking nature. The new offers will be announced on Monday Enel, a company that already carries out various financial services for customers. The novelty is that the group subsidiary is also preparing to offer a digital current account, complete with an Iban and the issue of prepaid debit cards (even for minors, with a parental control system) to allow its customers to pay their bills, the "supplies" in electric mobility up to prefiguring financial advisory services in the future. It should be remembered that Enel can contract in Italy on an audience of 30 million customers, all potentially interested in the new financial services.
