Whereas, Germany’s GDP grew modestly by 0.1%, Austria by 0.7%, Switzerland by 1.4%, and the UK by 0.2%. The forecast for 2013 shows another reduction of 1.3% in its GDP. This factor poses the most serious threat to the banking industry in the short and medium term for several reasons. Italian households that maintained a minimum savings rate of 9% of disposable income until 2007, have dropped it to 4.4% in 2012, compared to Germany’s 10.1%, France’s 16.2%, and Sweden’s 10.5%. As unemployment and sub employment increases, the rate of household savings will decrease further, causing an increasing rate of reduction in the availability of bank funds as deposits. The rate of non-performing debt that banks hold continues to increase. To maintain the present demands of Italy’s social services and with the reduced tax revenue, the costs of holding sovereign debt will increase further and the risks associated with loans extended to private industry will continue to rise.

Some of its banks date back to the 15th century, and Italy’s strong participation in the development of global trade. From Venice’s Marco Polo venture to Asia, to Renaissance’s industry and trade developments started in Florence, have propelled a very dynamic financial sector in the nation. More recently, banks were instrumental in the development of a progressive industry, based on technology and of agricultural products.

Globalization and the financial crises that most economies experienced have affected Italy in a very significant manner. The forecast for the next few years does not provide a bright picture for the economy. Italian banks will have to diversify, both with additional products and markets to counter the negative effects of recent phenomena. Strong guidelines should provide a solid base for the integrity of this industry, both in capitalization and
Speaker The speaker is Annie Dillard, who is also the author of the book. In Holy the Firm, the author expresses her thoughts in regard to questions such as the reason that humans are created by God; the meaning and essence of God’s work; and the relationship between the believers and God. Dillard encounters great conflicts in her belief in God when she saw that a girl in her neighbour’s farm was burned by a plane crash. She starts to question whether every act of God has any real meaning in it and if it does, why would God let a innocent girl be burned by excruciating fire at such a young age when she has done nothing wrong. She even wonders if God is just a powerless creator who has no power to save those who suffer from atrocities.
