During today's question time in the Chamber, Economy Minister Pier Carlo Padoan takes stock of the most important issues of recent weeks, from tax evasion to the banking issue.
Good news arrives precisely on the tax evasion front where, according to the first data available to the MEF, the revenue deriving from law enforcement in 2015 will exceed the record of 14,2 billion achieved in 2014.
The number one in Via XX Settembre then referred to sector studies, assuring that the Revenue Agency "will significantly reduce the onerousness of tax obligations". To this end, the revision of the sector studies will serve to "make them more effective and to maximize the reliability of the estimates, ensuring their simplification through the reduction of the number".
On the sidelines of the parliamentary question Padoan answered some questions from journalists on the by now famous bad bank which should welcome the non-performing loans that weigh on Italian banks. "We are doing everything to speed up the process," said the minister in relation to the timing of issuing the rules on guarantees for non-performing loans.
In addition, it should be noted that the owner of the Economy met today with the managing director of Bpm, Giuseppe Castagna, and the CEO of Ubi, Victor Massiah. An interview in which the prospects of the banking system and the agreement reached were discussed with the European Union on the bad bank.. Today the press reported the hypothesis, to the minister's attention, of a three-way combination with Monte dei Paschi.
