<\/div>\nCONTEXT:<\/b><\/p>\n
- \n
- The banking system, the capital market and the insurance market are expected to finance economic prosperity, in a period full of challenges. <\/li>\n
- In many respects, the financial markets are strengthened compared to previous years. Banks have strengthened their balance sheets, achieved very good results that allow them to support financing in the real economy. The stock exchange saw its liquidity improve and marked an exceptional moment by listing Hidroelectrica, and the insurance market overcame a new difficult moment in the RCA segment and is looking to get back on a healthy footing. <\/li>\n
- The economic context remains, however, a problematic one. The persistence of high inflation puts increasing pressure on disposable incomes, tempering consumption and transmitting effects to credit demand. The population and firms are much better prepared than in the past to adapt to difficulties, so bad loans have remained, at least so far, low. <\/li>\n
- Capital is, however, increasingly expensive, in a country where local businesses are in great need of capitalization. The era of cheap financing is over, and the economy is adjusting on the fly to the reality of rising interest rates. Decisions are carefully measured by central banks, which must balance, in a fragile balance, the need to reduce inflation and reduce the risk of a recession.
\nThe government, pressed by the huge burden of the budget deficit, is passing on its problems to the economy. The latest package of fiscal measures, aimed at patching up public finances, is affecting the business environment, including financial markets. <\/li>\n - Banks received the “gift” of a special tax of 2% of turnover, which will be added to the profit tax, a measure to which they will have to adapt by carefully weighing how much of the additional costs they can pass on to customers, and they affected during this period. <\/li>\n
- The fiscal measures also have an impact on the capital market, and on the insurance market, and for pension funds, which see their development prospects undermined again. <\/li>\n
- Solutions to economic recovery and growth, in a difficult environment, can only work by involving the financial markets, regardless of whether it is actions in the area of government support programs or private sector initiatives. <\/li>\n
- Hope for future growth is placed in the financing that will be attracted through the PNRR, a plan in which the involvement of the banking system is essential. <\/li>\n
- The program has, however, delays in implementation and substantial efforts are needed to avoid ticking again, as in the past, another loss of funds and development opportunities. In a period marked by uncertainty, from which there are also geopolitical tensions or the approach of wars, the managers of financial institutions are looking for solutions not only for adapting to the difficult economic, social and political context, but especially for reinvention and innovation in a world in rapid technological change.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
