Better courts would bring about macroeconomic benefits, including increased employment opportunities, and higher productivity, investment, and research and development. The Italian financial system faces several challenges in order to restore profitability under weak growth conditions and to adapt to a changing global environment. This chapter explores ways of improving profitability and the challenges of shifting from a bank-based financial system, common in EU countries, to a more ?market-based? system. Along with this shift comes a diversification of financing sources, led by further development of capital markets. Budget allocation in Italy will need to increasingly rely on efficiency analysis to find savings and improve performance. The analysis in this chapter finds that large social spending in Italy, particularly current pensions, will need to be tackled to generate sizable expenditure savings. In education and non-pension social protection there is scope for improving outcomes with current resources. In other areas, reducing cross-regional variation in spending efficiency could also lead to savings. Reforms should focus on court management, rationalization of the appeal system, reduction of the backlog of pending cases, and wider use of out-of-court mediation. 410 0$aIMF Staff Country Reports; Country Report ;$vNo. 2014/284 606 $aBanks and Banking$2imf 606 $aBudgeting$2imf 606 $aLabor$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aInvestments: Stocks$2imf 606 $aNational Budget$2imf 606 $aBudget Systems$2imf 606 $aEmployment$2imf 606 $aUnemployment$2imf 606 $aWages$2imf 606 $aIntergenerational Income Distribution$2imf 606 $aAggregate Human Capital$2imf 606 $aAggregate Labor Productivity$2imf 606 $aNational Government Expenditures and Health$2imf 606 $aBanks$2imf 606 $aDepository Institutions$2imf 606 $aMicro Finance Institutions$2imf 606 $aMortgages$2imf 606 $aPension Funds$2imf 606 $aNon-bank Financial Institutions$2imf 606 $aFinancial Instruments$2imf 606 $aInstitutional Investors$2imf 606 $aGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data)$2imf 606 $aPublic finance & taxation$2imf 606 $aLabour$2imf 606 $aincome economics$2imf 606 $aBudgeting & financial management$2imf 606 $aInvestment & securities$2imf 606 $aBanking$2imf 606 $aHealth economics$2imf 606 $aHealth care spending$2imf 606 $aBudget planning and preparation$2imf 606 $aExpenditure$2imf 606 $aStocks$2imf 606 $aFinancial institutions$2imf 606 $aPublic financial management (PFM)$2imf 606 $aExpenditures, Public$2imf 606 $aBudget$2imf 606 $aEconomic theory$2imf 606 $aBanks and banking$2imf 606 $aLabor economics$2imf 606 $aIncome economics$2imf 607 $aItaly$xEconomic conditions 607 $aItaly$xCommerce 607 $aItaly$2imf 615 7$aBanks and Banking 615 7$aBudgeting 615 7$aLabor 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aInvestments: Stocks 615 7$aNational Budget 615 7$aBudget Systems 615 7$aEmployment 615 7$aUnemployment 615 7$aWages 615 7$aIntergenerational Income Distribution 615 7$aAggregate Human Capital 615 7$aAggregate Labor Productivity 615 7$aNational Government Expenditures and Health 615 7$aBanks 615 7$aDepository Institutions 615 7$aMicro Finance Institutions 615 7$aMortgages 615 7$aPension Funds 615 7$aNon-bank Financial Institutions 615 7$aFinancial Instruments 615 7$aInstitutional Investors 615 7$aGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data) 615 7$aPublic finance & taxation 615 7$aLabour 615 7$aincome economics 615 7$aBudgeting & financial management 615 7$aInvestment & securities 615 7$aBanking 615 7$aHealth economics 615 7$aHealth care spending 615 7$aBudget planning and preparation 615 7$aExpenditure 615 7$aStocks 615 7$aFinancial institutions 615 7$aPublic financial management (PFM) 615 7$aExpenditures, Public 615 7$aBudget 615 7$aEconomic theory 615 7$aBanks and banking 615 7$aLabor economics 615 7$aIncome economics 676 $a330.945 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910963078403321 996 $aItaly$9225186 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03168nam 22004453 450 001 9911011371203321 005 20250621060308.0 024 7 $a10.4324/9781003480426 035 $a(CKB)39354068400041 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC32077110 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL32077110 035 $a(NjHacI)9939354068400041 035 $a(EXLCZ)9939354068400041 100 $a20250621d2025 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aArchitecture and Social Sustainability $eUnderstanding the New Paradigm 205 $a1st ed. 210 1$aOxford :$cTaylor & Francis Group,$d2025. 210 4$dİ2026. 215 $a1 online resource (284 pages) 311 08$a9781032769288 327 $aIntroduction Alexandra Staub Part 1.
