Report Highlights
The Italian consumer credit market has seen strong growth over the last five
years, with both gross advances and balances outstanding rising at fast rates.
However, the consumer credit market has not been growing as quickly as the
Italian mortgage market.
The key factors contributing to growth in the Italian market have been a low
base rate and a low level of indebtedness. However, an inefficient legal
system and a resistance to borrowing held the market back from growing even
faster.
The Italian market is small and relatively under-exploited compared to the
rest of Western Europe. However, recent years have seen tremendous growth - in
particular with credit cards and point of sale finance - with many banks
looking to take advantage of this unexploited market.
