Abstract

The Italian financial system is in a transition period searching for an effective compromise between German-style universal banking and the Anglo-American market-oriented system. This was stimulated by the European Community directives and the modernisation of the Italian finance market. The Italian economy, which has been very bank-centred, has gone through major changes due to strong competitive pressures arising from liberalisation and removal of constraints. The transformation being sought can be undertaken by fostering efficiency through competition without sacrificing the stability of industrial capitalism.
