Naples, 24 April. (LaPresse) – "Money is a pact of collective trust. This silent pact between people is as old as coins and central banks have become their guardians over time. Being guardians of that pact means two things: guaranteeing safe payments and preserving the value of money over time, i.e. keeping inflation under control. Both of these tasks are today under pressure. The ongoing conflicts risk fueling a new surge in prices. The Governing Council of the European Central Bank, of which the Bank of Italy is a part, follows with great pay attention to the evolution of the geopolitical situation, with a precise objective: to avoid rekindling an inflationary spiral like the one that affected us all between 2021 and 2023". This was said by the governor of the Bank of Italy Fabio Panetta, who spoke at the first appointment of the series of meetings 'The adventure of money' at the National Archaeological Museum of Naples.
