The supervision of Banca Popolare di Bari

The document contains information about the main measures taken by the Bank of Italy as part of the intensive and ongoing supervisory work carried out in recent years vis-à-vis Banca Popolare di Bari (BPB). It also explains the main reasons for the BPB crisis, despite repeated intervention by the Bank of Italy.

For reasons of professional secrecy, the document contains only a few references to some of the ongoing and in-depth interactions with the judicial authorities. However, it goes without saying that the Bank of Italy's interventions and interactions with the judicial authorities have been even more extensive than those described here.
