It cooperates with the main existing trade associations, maintaining a unified vision of the interests of the credit system. The first Articles of Association, approved in 1920, enshrine the founding principles of the Association, which are geared towards advising, supporting and protecting banks, especially small and medium-sized ones.<\/p>\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d7671bc elementor-widget elementor-widget-pxl_text_editor\" data-id=\"d7671bc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"pxl_text_editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pxl-text-editor\">\n\t<div class=\"pxl-item--inner\" data-wow-delay=\"ms\">\n\t\t<p>During the corporatist period of the 1920s and 1930s, the ABI was absorbed into the structure of the National Banking Confederation, losing some of its autonomy. To safeguard its original technical-economic function, a Technical Banking Association was established in 1936, which was dissolved in 1937. At the end of the Second World War, the ABI was reconstituted in 1945 as a first-class representative association, open to all banks operating in Italy, with the aim of protecting the general interests of the sector in a unified manner.<\/p>\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-61dd0fa elementor-widget elementor-widget-pxl_text_editor\" data-id=\"61dd0fa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"pxl_text_editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pxl-text-editor\">\n\t<div class=\"pxl-item--inner\" data-wow-delay=\"ms\">\n\t\t<p>In the post-war period, the ABI assumed a central role in defining sector policies, while trade associations maintained the protection of specific interests. Starting in the 1990s, following reforms such as the Amato-Carli Law (1990), the liberalisation of capital movements and the entry into force of the Consolidated Banking Law (1994), the Italian banking system was profoundly transformed. The ABI thus strengthened its representative function, becoming a privileged interlocutor of the institutions for the implementation of new regulations and for the coordination of the sector in a liberalised and competitive European market.<\/p>\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dbf6be5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-pxl_text_editor\" data-id=\"dbf6be5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"pxl_text_editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pxl-text-editor\">\n\t<div class=\"pxl-item--inner\" data-wow-delay=\"ms\">\n\t\t<p>In 1997, with the merger of the Trade Union Association of Credit Companies, the ABI also acquired the direct union representation of banks, excluding some groups such as Federcasse. This new competence enabled it to define unitary lines on labour relations, employment policies and industrial relations. A new organisational cycle began in 1999 to offer more personalised and professional products and services in line with the differentiated needs of its members.<\/p>\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6bb50b4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-pxl_text_editor\" data-id=\"6bb50b4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"pxl_text_editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pxl-text-editor\">\n\t<div class=\"pxl-item--inner\" data-wow-delay=\"ms\">\n\t\t<p>Since 2000, the ABI has strengthened its role by promoting digital innovation, sustainable finance and constant dialogue with Italian and European institutions.<\/p><p>It has supported the industry in adapting to new regulations, fostered the adoption of digital technologies and promoted financial education.<\/p>\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t            <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n        \t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Storia L\u2019Associazione Bancaria Italiana (ABI) nasce a Milano il 13 aprile 1919 su iniziativa di 53 banche, in un contesto di crescente associazionismo economico.
