La Cassa di Ravenna Chairman Antonio Patuelli warned rising interest rates are generating significant valuation losses on banks' bond holdings.
Higher energy costs risk triggering widespread business failures, potentially worsening credit quality and forcing banks to increase loan-loss provisions, he warned.
Patuelli criticized the 60% effective tax burden on shareholders' profits, citing a further three-year contribution requested from banks in 2026.
That contribution involves releasing reserves accumulated since 2023; other measures include deferred tax credits and an additional IRAP surcharge.
Despite these pressures, Bank of Italy data confirm lending to businesses and households is growing, Patuelli said.
