Il Sole 24 Ore: Italy's transition period

21 March 2019

The Italian government has published a decree-law on urgent measures that aim to ensure financial stability and market integrity in case of a hard Brexit.

As a way to recreate the scenario of a "soft Brexit", UK firms with activities in Italy are allowed to continue carrying out their activities during an 18-month transitional period. The measures would also allow British financial operators in Italy as well as Italian operators in Britain to pursue activities under the current conditions.
Above all, operations of banks insurance companies and pension funds would fall under the protective measures. Moreover, the  decree forsees the possibility of British banks operating in Italy to join the Italian system of protection of deposits.
