2. Required action
There is no action required for participation.
3. Details of the initiative
In May 2023, Ministero dell’Economia e delle Finanze (MEF) Dipartimento del Tesoro, Italy announced a new family of government bonds named as BTP Valore. This new form of BTP Valore bond was admitted for individual retail investors and similarly classified persons only.
Due to the retail nature of the new BTP Valore bonds those bonds, similar to BTP Futura bonds, will not be included in the deliverable baskets of Euro-BTP-Futures, Short- and Medium Euro-BTP-Futures to ensure an orderly delivery process.
