The Bank's organizational structure reflects the three levels at which it operates: international, national and local. The Head Office draws up and implements the strategic, management and operational policies.
At national level, the Bank is organized in branches located in the regional capitals and in some provincial capitals.
Their activities relate to banking and financial supervision, both prudential and anti-money laundering, the protection of customers of banking and financial intermediaries, financial education, banknote circulation, payment system services, economic analysis and statistical surveys at local level, giving creditworthiness ratings for non-financial corporations and information services for the public.
The Bank has representative offices in London, New York and Tokyo, an office at the House of the Euro in Brussels and a number of its officers are seconded as financial attachés to some Italian embassies and consulates.
The Financial Intelligence Unit has an autonomous position.
Banca d'Italia is constantly engaged in organizational development to enhance the quality, economy and efficiency of the services it provides to the country, in line with the changing economic and financial landscape and with the opportunities offered by technological innovation.
