Monte Dei Paschi, About To Be Able To Set Up Its Bad Bank
Bankinter | The European Commission (EC) has given Banca Monte Dei Paschi Di Siena (MPS) the go-ahead to finally set up a toxic asset restructuring entity. The plan has yet to be approved by the ECB and the Italian watchdog (Consob) but there is a high probability of success. The most important thing is that the EC does not consider the operation as a form of state aid. The finalisation of the process is planned for end-2020 or the beginning of 2021.
