(ANSA) - Rome, October 30 - Italians continue to have the
tendency to save as much as they can, due in part to perceptions
of an uncertain atmosphere, a recent study says.
The study, by the Association for Savings Banks and
Foundations (ACRI) and IPSOS as part of the 94th Savings Day,
found that the tendency to save was at 86%, in line with the
previous year.
A total of 39% of households say that they are actually able
to save money, 2% more than in 2017.
The rise in overall savings of households, at 18%, was
confirmed by Italian national statistics institute ISTAT as
well.
