The European Commission allowed Italy to carry on a project for selling to a platform that AMCO, a distressed credit management firm that Marina Natale heads and that belongs to the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance, will manage (see here a previous post by BeBeez). The banks will transfer their distressed credits to AMCO’s platform and their pricing will be based on offers from private investors. The investors, which may also be the originator banks, will receive asset-backed securitisation notes.  If the originator banks decide to keep all the notes in their portfolio, the transfer price of the loans will be agreed among all banks so that it does not benefit any loan portfolio. The price will also be verified by an independent third-party valuer.
