The solution to the substandard loan issue of the superbonus is near. But to get there you need the help of the banks. The government is relying entirely on their constructive collaboration, continuing the moral suasion to restart the acquisition of problem loans. However, a path that also passes through the instruments being studied in the context of the superbonus decree: the most feasible hypotheses at the moment remain the F24 and the Btp, but the work continues unabated. In fact, time is running out: the final rush in the commission starts on Monday, then the text is expected on Wednesday in the Chamber.
A cautious optimism filters through the government. “If the banks are giving us help, as I hope, let’s see if we can unblock everything. We are also taking the right path with the other amendments”, explains the Deputy Minister of Economy Maurizio Leo, on the sidelines of a ceremony by the Guardia di Finanza in Bergamo. The banks are collaborating, assures the exponent of FdI, who in any case is keen to point out: that of substandard tax credits of the superbonus “is a problem that we have inherited – he says – and we are solving it in the best way”.
The light is focused on banks, but also on insurance companies.
The Mef has announced in recent days that it has received positive responses from the major financial institutions on the possibility of restarting the acquisition of credits in the next few days. However, there is still a certain caution among the institutes, waiting to understand how the game will unblock itself in Parliament. Unicredit would appear in the group of those available. Banco Bpm has commitments to purchase subscribed tax credits (2.5 billion out of a ceiling already committed of 4 billion) which at the moment allow for a cautious opening to new operations. Outside the banking circuit, the Post Office may also be available. With over 16 billion already purchased and a 50% share of the loan purchase market, Intesa San Paolo thinks that it has done its part, which is the bank that has bought the most loans ever and is the only bank so far to have used the transfer mechanism, having entered into transfer contracts for over 6 billion: overall, since 2020 Intesa has acquired tax credits for around 16 billion, which correspond to around 200,000 files processed, for over 70,000 customers, associated with over 160,000 redeveloped properties on the national territory.
In the meantime, attention shifts to the Chamber, where the work of the Finance commission resumes on Monday, called to vote on the latest amendments. As regards problem loans, the two main working hypotheses are the possible recourse to the F24s, on which an in-depth analysis of the mechanisms and repercussions is underway and the possibility for the banks that at the end of the year have not managed to exhaust the loans to convert them into BTP at 10 years. The M5s remains critical of the measure: “With this decree a pact between citizens and the state is broken and we cannot allow it”, says Giuseppe Conte, who sees “nothing substantial” on the release of credits.
