Italian Stocks Deepen August Losses as Prime Minister to Resign
(Bloomberg) -- Italian stocks extended this month’s decline after Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte announced his plans to resign.The FTSE MIB Index was down 0.7% as of 4:49 p.m. in Milan, after earlier sliding as much as 1.3%. Banking shares paced the declines, with UniCredit SpA losing 1.9% and Intesa Sanpaolo falling 0.6%. Italy’s equity benchmark is heading for its worst monthly drop since May, after one of the country’s coalition partners withdrew support to the government earlier in August.Conte’s resignation “marks a significant escalation in the government crisis and puts the Italian budget in jeopardy, although if he can cobble together one without the League it might help to provide a better platform for negotiations with Brussels,” said Chris Beauchamp, chief market analyst at IG.Italian markets have had a bumpy 14 months since the coalition between the right-wing League party and the anti-establishment Five Star Movement formed and announced plans to raise spending, putting it on a collision course with the European Union. Just when investors thought they could breathe easy after the government lowered its budget deficit in a bid to avoid EU sanctions, fresh political turmoil hit the market.Conte said he will hand his resignation to the Italian president later on Tuesday after telling lawmakers that his deputy Matteo Salvini’s rebellion means the administration can’t continue. At stake is whether Italy’s mountain of public debt will be managed by a right-wing ideologue set on confrontation with the EU.To contact the reporter on this story: Ksenia Galouchko in London at kgalouchko1@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Blaise Robinson at brobinson58@bloomberg.net, Namitha Jagadeesh, John ViljoenFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2019 Bloomberg L.P.

Salvini and Conte Go Toe-to-Toe With Italian Government on Brink
(Bloomberg) -- Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte signaled he won’t leave office without a fight as his deputy, Matteo Salvini, took steps toward bringing the government down and forcing snap elections. Italian bonds plunged on the prospect of political uncertainty and a new vote.With Salvini, head of the anti-immigrant League, pulling support from the administration and calling for a national ballot, Conte said late Thursday that he won’t let his opponent dictate the pace of events. His comments offered a glimmer of encouragement to those in Rome still hoping for an anti-Salvini coalition that could survive long enough to approve a budget for next year.Italian 10-year bond yields jumped 25 basis points higher -- the largest sell-off this year. Yields on safe havens, such as German bonds, fell as the cost to buy insurance on Italy’s debt rose.The benchmark FTSE MIB Index dropped 2.4% in Milan, with banks leading the declines.The biggest sell-off of Italian bonds this year underscores the concern investors have that the nation’s budget dispute with the euro area could once again bubble to the surface. That could escalate as soon as October when proposed draft budgets for 2020 are due at the European Commission, the European Union’s executive arm. The commission has to give an opinion by November.A so-called “guarantee” government comprised of non-political figures may be the only solution to resolve the crisis ahead of early elections, possibly in November, Corriere della Sera reported Friday, though the League chief is reportedly pushing for a vote on Oct. 13.Separately, daily la Repubblica reported that the end of October could be a likely range for elections, adding that Salvini is pressing for parliamentary debate next week, while Five Star prefers after the Aug. 15 national holiday.Salvini, who is also interior minister, is demanding lawmakers be given a chance to vote out the government as soon as next week as he seeks to capitalize on the relentless advance of his polling numbers over the past year. Salvini says he and his party have grown frustrated by the constant infighting with their coalition allies in the Five Star Movement.“He wants to go to elections to make the most of his party’s current support,” Conte said Thursday night. Nevertheless, “it’s not up to the interior minister to summon parliament, it’s not up to the interior minister to decide the timing of a political crisis when much more important actors are involved.”The League formally presented its no-confidence motion against Conte in the Senate on Friday, news agency Ansa reported.If Conte loses the ballot -- as is likely -- he will hand in his resignation to the president, who has the power to call new elections, but could also try to piece together an alternative governing coalition.Salvini called for “swift” elections, criticizing his partners in government and saying that the current coalition no longer holds a majority in parliament.“It’s pointless to go ahead with ‘no’s’ and quarrels like in the past few weeks, Italians need certainties and a government capable of acting,” Salvini said in a statement on Thursday night.Common GroundThe League and Five Star never had much common ground on policy issues, but the conflict came to a head on Wednesday after a split vote on a high-speed rail link to France. While the project has already been approved, Salvini said the split laid bare the divisions and compounded the “insults” of recent days. Under such conditions, it is “pointless” for the government to continue, he said.Deputy Prime Minister Luigi Di Maio of Five Star said he is ready for an election but urged lawmakers to first give final approval to a bill that would drastically reduce the numbers of seats in parliament. Luigi Zingaretti, leader of the opposition Democratic Party, said he, too, is ready for a new vote.Immigration CurbItaly’s parliament is currently in recess and it’s not clear when a vote can be held. Highlighting the complexity of the situation, on Monday Italy’s Senate renewed its confidence in Conte’s government when it passed a security law handing Salvini more powers to curb immigration.“I think Italy will schedule new elections between Oct. 15 and Oct. 30 and that’s good because it will remove all the uncertainty and the tensions of the last months,” Francesco Giavazzi, a professor of Economics at Milan’s Bocconi University, said in a phone interview. The outcome will be pretty clear, he added, as according to all polls “Salvini’s League will get about 40%.”(Updates with markets, charts)\--With assistance from Chiara Albanese, Daniele Lepido, Dan Liefgreen and John Ainger.To contact the reporter on this story: Alessandro Speciale in Rome at aspeciale@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Paul Gordon at pgordon6@bloomberg.net, Jerrold Colten, Caroline AlexanderFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2019 Bloomberg L.P.

Exclusive: Europe's bank supervisors want Carige closed if no buyer found - sources
European bank supervisors think Italy's long-struggling Banca Carige should be closed if it can't find a buyer, contrary to Rome's plan for a state rescue, four sources close to the matter said. Carige's case, the latest in a series of bank crises in an Italian economy still reeling from the last recession, is likely to once again pit Rome's anti-establishment government against the European Central Bank in Frankfurt after skirmishes on the euro. The sources said supervisors had no immediate plan to pull the plug on Carige and still hope the bank, which has been marred by years of maladministration and a stagnant economy in its domestic region of Liguria, can find an investor.

Italian bank fund could take Carige stake in BlackRock rescue - Intesa CEO
A rescue plan for Italy's Carige by U.S. asset manager BlackRock would allow a fund financed by Italian lenders to take part in a cash call at the Genoa-based bank, the chief executive of Intesa Sanpaolo said on Tuesday. Carlo Messina said the BlackRock proposal was consistent with a restructuring plan drafted by Carige's temporary administrators which allowed the Italian banking fund to take a stake by converting debt into equity. Italian banks propped up Carige in November by buying a 320 million euro (£276 million) hybrid bond to beef up its total capital via the voluntary-contribution arm of a depositor guarantee fund.
