Non-performing loans (NPLs) fell from 16 1\2 percent in 2015 to about 8.1 percent at end-June 2019, achieved mainly through Euro 145 billion of private NPL sales.

New NPL formation has fallen to pre-crisis levels. Provisioning coverage was 52.5 percent as of June 2019, placing Italy 7.6 percentage points above the average of the main EU banks.
