Important insights from Daniele M. here. Imagine a world where the private sector is persistently disinvesting to the tune of c4% of GDP and policy makers think (or thought) it’s a good idea to restrict government investment to 3% of GDP….

🇮🇹 The Italian Financial Intelligence Unit (Banca d'Italia - Eurosistema) has published its 2023 annual report, highlighting a 3.2% decrease in the number of #SuspiciousTransactionReports (STRs) compared to 2022, with a total of 150,418 reports. Despite the quantitative decline, the complexity of the transactions has increased, necessitating adjustments in analysis tools to improve process efficiency and effectiveness. As of January 1, 2024, new anomaly indicators have been introduced, and in 2023, a project was launched to monitor the quality of active collaboration in the #antimoneylaundering system. Significant reporting flows related to economic support policies, such as the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), have emerged, alongside a rise in #cyberfraud and the use of FinTech tools designed to obstruct the traceability of financial flows. Inspection activities have doubled compared to the previous year, targeting high-risk sectors such as crowdfunding and the trading of tax credits. Monitoring of foreign wire transfers has identified #illicitflows to Russia triangulated through third countries, while investigations into VAT carousel fraud continue. Requests for information from judicial and investigative authorities have increased by 31.3%. A new Memorandum of Understanding has been signed to optimize the exchange of information between #UIF, DNA, the Department of Public Security, and the Guardia di Finanza. Additionally, three new EU legislative acts have been published to complete the new anti-#moneylaundering regulatory framework. The Mutual Evaluation of the Italian anti-money laundering system by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) is set to begin soon, with a significant contribution expected from UIF in assessing the effectiveness of preventive measures. #aml #compliance #dirtymoney #followthemoney

Do you know what the helix model is? If you ask ChatGPT it tells you the following: The helix model is a concept used in various fields to describe processes or phenomena that evolve in a spiral or helical pattern, emphasizing continuous, cyclical development rather than a linear progression. There are a few notable applications of the helix model in different disciplines but the next one is how italy is intending to deploy a virtuous developing schema to enhance rapidly the Italian manufacturing capability: 1. **Triple Helix Model** (Innovation and University-Industry-Government Relations): - This model describes the interaction and collaboration among universities, industries, and governments to drive innovation and economic development. - The university provides research and education, industry focuses on production and market application, and the government creates policies and regulations to support and guide the innovation process. - The Triple Helix Model emphasizes the dynamic and recursive nature of these interactions, leading to the continuous development and adaptation of knowledge and technology. In general, the helix model in various contexts highlights the importance of ongoing, iterative processes and the interdependence of different components in driving development and evolution. If you read this book you will understand how powerful this method could be and as President of AFIL I wish we will be the bench mark for Europe to drive innovation as Italians together with research centers , industries and government .

FACING ECONOMIC AND BUSINESS COMPLEXITY: AN ANALYSIS OF THE EVOLVING FEATURES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ MEETINGS IN ITALY This study, published in our journal Corporate Ownership and Control, analyzes how corporate governance practices evolve to keep up with external complexities. The analysis is carried out on all Italian listed companies in the period 2018–2020. The findings suggest that Committees of the Board of Directors increased in number during the period, and the frequency of their meetings also increased. There was little variation in the frequency of the Board of Directors’ (BoD) meetings. The paper provides empirical evidence on the current trend for establishing smaller working parties that do not burden the whole BoD when the firm faces issues for which specialized skills and greater attention are required. Study contributes to previous literature on corporate governance by jointly analyzing different mechanisms of BoD. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, it explores for the first time the duration of the meetings of the BoD and its Committees.

Transactions are the engine of economic growth for all and a means of reducing disparities and contributing to the sustainable development of countries. Trade is a vast notion. It includes trade in goods of all types (imports and exports). It serves both for the production of new goods and for consumption, thus creating an important benefit for people. The intensification of trade stimulates competition and therefore progress! This is investiopia…
