The news for which this morning the Franco-Belgian bank Dexia was accessing the emergency credit line of the Belgian central bank as well as national central banks in France, Spain, Italy, where it has subsidiaries, has been denied, at least as far as Italy is concerned, directly from a source in via Nazionale.
Bank of Italy would in fact have denied the circumstance “that Dexia has access to emergency credit lines in Italy. It is baseless."
The subsidiary of the Dexia group in Italy is Dexia Crediop, with important Italian minority shareholders: Banco Popolare, Bpm and Bper, which hold 10% each for a total of, according to rumors, one hundred million each.
