| Regulatory bodies | |
| Regulatory model | The new segment of Borsa Italiana is the result of important regulatory changes introduced in 2012 with the Decreto Sviluppo and the Decreto Sviluppo-Bis and enriched later during 2013 and 2014 with Piano Destinazione Italia,Decreto Competitivit 2014 and IVASS Regulations. These innovations have the purpose to facilitate access to capital markets for Italian private companies, other than micro enterprises, particularly sensitive in times of financial crisis, given the average composition of their funding sources strongly focused on short-term bank debt. Two directions have been taken. On one side, to facilitate companies using capital instruments in order to reach a new equilibrium in the liabilities composition. On the other side, to direct institutional investors towards the real italian economy. For more detail visit: The regulatory framework Borsa Italiana |
| About the stock exchange | The Borsa di commercio di Milano (Milan Stock Exchange) was established by Eugne de Beauharnais, viceroy of the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy, through decrees dated 16 January and 6 February 1808. It operated under public ownership until 1998, when it was privatized. In 1997, all the Italian stocks were merged. Before that year, other smaller stocks exchanges were based in Naples, Turin, Trieste, Venice, Genoa, Florence, Bologna, Rome, and Palermo. In 1991, the electronic exchanges were approved, and in 1994, the market with grids (A,B,C) was abolished. In Milan were also the currencies exchange rates fixing and the commodities fixing. On 1 October 2007, Borsa Italiana was merged with the London Stock Exchange in an all-share takeover, thus becoming part of the London Stock Exchange Group. In March 2016, the London Stock Exchange Group announced the agreement to merge in an all-stock deal with Deutsche Borse, but was subsequently blocked by the EU Competition Regulator. On 18 September 2020, the London Stock Exchange Group entered into exclusive talks to sell the Italian Bourse to Euronext. On 29 April 2021, following the entry of CDP Equity and Intesa San Paolo (Italian institutional investors) as shareholders of Euronext, the European group assumed control of the company.
