"Our CEO Conference has become the go-to event for investors looking at Italy. Today and tomorrow we will have opportunities to discuss the prospects in terms of digitalization of financial services and the conversion to a sustainable economy with the management of the largest Italian listed companies, and also to find out what's actually happening on the ground, in the real economy as a whole", said Alberto Nagel, Chief Executive Officer of Mediobanca. "In a situation like today's world which is rapidly changing, banks have a crucial role to play in supporting businesses and households, and their solidity can help mitigate the risks deriving from inflation and rising energy prices. As a result of the strong decisions taken by the regulators during the pandemic, and the huge efforts made in recent years in terms of de-risking, Italian banks are now much better placed to tackle these difficult times, in terms of both capital and liquidity."
