Innovative ways to recapitalize banks and reduce government debt in Italy in 2012

07/13/2011

Italian banks exchange Italian government bonds for government properties, which they lease back to the government. The banks use the properties as collateral for loans from the ECB, and Italy's government retires the bonds and reduces the debt load. This is part of new legislation passed in the Italian parliament under Mario Monti in Dec. 2011.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
