Rome, October 7 (askanews) – ABI President Antonio Patuelli reiterates his firm "no" to the idea of new taxes on bank profits. "No," he said in response to a question on the topic on the sidelines of Credit Day in Rome, "because there's already a three-year agreement." "Agreements are upheld. Banks operate on the basis of contracts," he explained.
All banking activity is based on contracts. And consequently, if contracts between private individuals are always valid, a contract with the public is even more valid.
