MILAN (Reuters) - Italian banks have seen their share prices soar to multi-year highs as rising interest rates turbocharge profits, driving up lending costs while deposit rates lag far behind.
When the European Central Bank embarked on its fastest-ever cycle of rate hikes in July 2022 Italian banks had completed a clean-up that rid them of some 290 billion euros ($314 billion) in impaired loans.
Loan losses remain at record low levels thanks to stricter lending policies and generous state guarantees that cushioned the blow on the economy from the COVID-19 pandemic, the energy crisis and the sudden spike in borrowing costs.
With ample capital reserves and a limited need to provision against credit losses, banks have been able to boost payouts for investors, making up for a dividend ban regulators imposed during the pandemic.
UniCredit, in particular, has bet strongly on buying back its own shares, which used to trade at a deep discount to the bank's book value.
UniCredit has destined 11.5 billion euros out of its profits between 2021 and 2023 to share buybacks, lifting a key valuation metric known as price-to-book ratio.
Intesa's shares have approached parity in terms of price-to-book for the first time since 2018, while for UniCredit it had last happened before the global financial crisis of 2008, LSEG data showed.

If you are only invested 3 years, you are a newbie!‘
What does length of time matter when it comes to investing. What matters is whether or not you can make a profit. I will listen and take advice from anyone regardless of age or experience if that advice is good.
Having listened to some of my friends stories of planning for their retirement and the current position they find themselves, it would be ‘financial suicide’ to follow them.
STP........You only appeared here in July 2021 so what does that make you, bearing in mind you're not invested in Lloyds anyway?
If you are only invested 3 years, you are a newbie!

Third time lucky!
Our culture has changed as planned from 1997 to this day.
The difference between say a French socialist and a British socialist is that a French socialist will always put France first.
Our Lab/Tory socialists: for they are both two sides of the same coin, put anyone but ourselves first.
Would French socialist hand us 700 million Euros, per year to have 2 coppers walk up and down a beach in Kent?

The last paragraph, should read
Our Lab/Tory socialists: would not pay us 700 million Euros per year, to have 2 coppers walk up and down a beach in Kent.

I not argue against the result of the survey.
After taking my wife to A&E as directed by our GP, last week, I felt, this is not the country that we wanted or expected .
But look on the bright side our King, did not need to spend 22hours on a trolley.
And he wants £100 pp to look in side his house in Scotland !
And don't just take my word for it. The UK is now independently and officially listed as the world's 2nd most-miserable country on all of planet Earth. This is what London is battling against. Seventy million of the gloomiest people in the world.

Of course. But the FT is the UK's 1st or 2nd most important newspaper, and should set an example. Lead the way. Turn its frown upside down.
All news in the uk is doom and gloom not just the ft
