[central Bank of Italy: increased risk of financial stability in Italy] April 29, the Bank of Italy released a report on the 28th local time, saying that the overall condition of the Italian banking system is good. But like the rest of the eurozone, continued geopolitical instability, rising energy prices, inflationary pressures and deteriorating growth prospects have increased the risk of financial stability in Italy. The report said that the asset quality of the Italian banking system showed no sign of deteriorating and that higher interest rates had improved profitability. Italy's public finances have improved thanks to the economic recovery in 2021 and the first nine months of 2022. But the financial position of Italian companies has been adversely affected by a slowdown in economic activity, rising prices for energy products and rising interest rates. Italian household disposable income may deteriorate in the second half of this year due to persistent high inflation.
