The Italian Minister of Economy and Finance, acting as President of the Interministerial Committee for Credit and Savings, issued Decree No. 13 to establish a direct reporting system for balance of payments statistics. The decree empowers the Bank of Italy to request periodic data from resident operators and public entities to ensure accurate statistical reporting in compliance with EU regulations. It simultaneously repeals previous urgent decrees from 1990 and 1995 that previously governed currency statistical reporting.
