Italian households and enterprises are demonstrating a growing inclination to acquire Italian Treasury bills (BOTs) and government bonds (BTPs). According to data from FABI, the Italian banking federation, as of August 2025, they held €442.4 billion in Italian public debt, representing 14.4% of the total €3,081 billion (€3,080.9 billion in September), nearly doubling the low of 7.9% recorded in 2021. Foreign investors are also on the rise, amounting to €1,039.9 billion, or 33.8% of the total, representing a record high in the past six years. "Italian families are resuming investments in government bonds, driven by their confidence in the country’s social and political stability, as well as Italy’s capacity to navigate a challenging international landscape with greater stability than other major European partners", remarked FABI Secretary General Lando Sileoni.
