Banks and Business Internationalization: Trends, Experiences, Evaluations and Proposals

Assignment
ABI - Associazione Bancaria Italiana

Coordinator

Research outline and main results
A few years after a previous study on this subject, the Italian Banking
Association (ABI) has sponsored an in-depth research about the extent and
quality of the Italian banking system's response to the demand of financial
services by companies undergoing internationalization processes (export,
equity and non equity foreign direct investments). The research includes
extensive questionnaires to companies and banks, as well as field research and
econometric exercises on Italian banks' own strategies of foreign market
penetration through direct investment and operational linkages with
corresponding banks abroad.
