Mr. Padoan rebuffed the idea that there was a need for recapitalisation stating that the "...banking system is solid and has only a very few specific critical situations.

Mr. Padoan's dismissal of any capital injection from private investors and his strong words in support of the Italian banking sector seeks to reassure the other finance ministers of Europe ahead of the publication of the crucial European banking "stress test" results on 29 July, whilst he continues to negotiate a solution with the EU's executive European Commission.
