On top of these are several types of credit FIAs that provide financing to SMEs and invest in trading credits.

It is important to facilitate their development and investment in the country as much as possible, including through the support of System initiatives and innovative services, enhancing resources that can be crucial in fostering the growth of the Italian economic and productive system”.
