The social cost of payment instruments in Italy. The results of the third survey

Banca d'Italia has published the results of the third survey on 'The social cost of payment instruments in Italy', which was launched in 2023 by the Italian Payments Committee. As in the previous two editions, this round of the survey used a sample of supply-side actors (banks and other service providers) and demand-side participants (firms and retailers) in order to update the analysis of the efficiency of the Italian payment services market.
