A summary of the main points and consequences:

The Italian Central Bank has recently published a report that provides detailed information on how to manage savings. This document, known as the 'Monthly ABI Report', offers an in-depth analysis of the alternatives offered by banks and post offices.

According to the statistics presented in the report, an annual average spending of 101.10 euros for traditional bank accounts was recorded for 2024. Additionally, the average interest rate of 0.36% on current account deposits and 2.47% on new fixed-term deposit operations were highlighted.

The Cassa Depositi e Prestiti warning, published in the Official Gazette No. 220 on September 22, 2026, introduces a Supersmart Open Deposit at 2.25% annual interest rate, replacing the previous offer of 1.75%. This change represents another incentive for those who want to invest their own money.

On the other hand, Postal Savings Certificates and Post Office Bonds issued by CDP are guaranteed by the State, according to Article 5 of Decree-Law No. 269/2003, converted from Law No. 326/2003, as per the decree-law of September 30, 2003, n. 269, converted into Law No. 326/2003, as per the decree-law of November 24, 2003, n. 326. This feature makes these products more attractive for those seeking guarantees and security.

To compare alternatives, it is essential to distinguish between sums destined for daily services and savings that can be left idle. A bank or BankPost account allows managing income and payments, while Postal Savings Certificates and Fixed-term Deposit Accounts recognize interest under the terms specified in the contract. The difference can be significant when capital is high or money must be available within a set date. Saving and investing: the difference for those who keep liquid assets.

Finally, it is important to note that time periods and economic conditions can influence the best choice. Therefore, before making a definitive decision, it is advisable to carefully evaluate one's needs and consider all available options.
