In order to strengthen market discipline, the New regulations for the prudential supervision of banks (Bank of Italy Circular No. 263 of 27 th December 2006) require banks to make disclosures concerning their capital adequacy, exposure to risk and the general characteristics of the systems they use to identify, measure and manage these risks (the Basel 2, Pillar 3).
The Bank of Italy has made special tables available in this respect in which the quantitative and qualitative information which banks must disclose is classified, thereby making the data comparable.
The information required is published in this section in compliance with the new regulations.
