Bank of Italy Governor Ignazio
Visco said Thursday that around 30% of Italian households' four
billion euros in wealth was held in "bank and postal deposits".
He said the effects of the economic crisis had taken the
proportion of wealth in deposits back up to the levels of the
late 1980s. At the start of the century the proportion had
dropped to around 20%. He said around 10% of the wealth was held
in bonds and State paper, as in the 1950s.
