(ANSA) - Rome, December 1 - A No vote in Sunday's
Constitutional reform referendum will make it harder to gather
capital but there are no risks for Italian banks, Economy
Minister Pier Carlo Padoan said Thursday, denying a warning from
the Financial Times that eight banks risked failure. "If the No
wins, but above all if with the No victory there is less
confidence on the market, it will be harder to gather capital,
but there is no systemic fragility," he said. If Premier Matteo
Renzi goes through with his initial pledge to quit if he loses
the referendum, pundits expect a period of political and
economic uncertainty.
