Italy may raise minimum rates on BTP Valore bonds
The BTP Valore is an Italian government bond aimed at savers.
Investors are speculating that Italy’s Treasury may raise its minimum rates when sales close on Friday.
Any rate increase remains only a possibility, not a confirmed decision.
The comparison looks at the current issue and one launched in March.
It calculates how a rate change could affect returns on a €10,000 investment, both before and after tax.
The possible change could alter what savers earn, but the available details do not give the rates or the size of any increase.
What happens next depends on whether the Treasury changes the minimum rates at the close of sales.
Savers are discussing a possible increase in the minimum rates on the dual BTP Valore issue.
