The Liquidity Decree was converted into law, with amendments, by Law No. 40 of 5 June 2020 which came into force on 7 June 2020. The Liquidity decree introduced significant new measures, some of which deal with matters that were already addressed by prior pieces of legislation aimed at combating the Covid-19 coronavirus emergency, including the so-called Cura Italia Decree which came into force on 17 March 2020.

Our publication provides an update of the main measures introduced by these decrees with specific regard to:

  • Temporary measures to support liquidity for enterprises
  • SMEs Central Guarantee Fund
  • Measures in relation to insolvency proceedings and distressed companies
  • Forbearance measures
  • Measures to support exports, internationalisation and business investment    
  • Streamlined measures for entering into banking contracts with retail clients
  • Changes in terms of "Golden Power" rules
  • Tax measures
