Stockholding in Italy

Chapter 6 in Stockholding in Europe, 2003, pp 141-167 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Historically, stockownership in Italy — as in other European countries — has not been widespread. Recently, however, there have been important developments in the composition of the portfolio of Italian households. The most significant changes are the increased participation in the equity market, the sharp increase in the share of stocks in the portfolio (held either directly or through mutual funds), and the parallel decline of transaction accounts and government bonds.
