Banks, Salvini: they will contribute in the manoeuvre, everyone will play their part

"Everyone will have to play their part. Economic actors who, last year, earned 46 billion euro, can make a contribution to the growth of the country and to families". So said Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, speaking at the Rimini Meeting, to those who asked him about the "pinch" by Giorgetti to the banks and the possible contribution of credit institutions. A contribution that may also come in this financial manoeuvre? "Of course,' replies the Carroccio leader.

No meeting between the government and the ABI seems to be on the horizon after the release on the 'pinch' that Giorgetti would like to give to credit institutions, which have benefited from the fall in the spread and should now translate those benefits into aid for families. The regulations for next year already exist and last for two years. In fact, the Budget Law 2025 provides for a freeze of the Dta deduction for the tax periods 2025 and 2026. Banks will not be able to reduce their taxable income for the two years with Dta and will have to pay more tax. The amounts, however, will be recovered in the following three or four years. In other words, for the higher taxes due in 2025 and 2026, they will pay less tax between 2027 and 2030.

Giorgetti's exit did not please Forza Italia at all. "No blitz," warned Antonio Tajani, mindful of the interventions on extra-profits that have made the summer debate on the budget law incandescent in the past. There has been no coalition discussion on the measures yet, and they will probably not be discussed until September. But the majority parties, and the various ministries, are already gearing up to line up desiderata. If necessary, even vetoes. And the banks remain a burning issue.

One thing are announcements, another "actions, we will see if there will be any," said the minister Tommaso Foti caustically from Fratelli d'Italia, as Tajani guest at the Rimini Meeting. Today in her speech in Rimini Giorgia Meloni did not mention the banks chapter. The deputy prime minister, on the other hand, was trance-like: 'A country like ours cannot do without a strong banking system', so 'no pinching', with the credit institutes, if anything, we must 'talk'. Avoid 'hunting them down' because it would mean 'hunting down the Italian industrial and entrepreneurial system'. In short, 'strange operations' must be 'avoided', against which the Azzurri are already ready to take sides, as has already happened.
