Activities

The activities of the company are divided into two distinct branches of business. The first, called "separate management", manages the financing of investment and other public bodies, such as regions, other local bodies and structures relating to the State, using postal savings deposits as the main source of funds. [4]

The second, called "ordinary management", deals with the financing of works, plants, networks and equipment intended for the supply of public services and redevelopment.

Unlike postal savings, bonds issued by the Cassa are not guaranteed by the state.[5] It has €17.5 bln assets.[6]

The activity of the company is subject to monitoring by a Parliamentary committee.
