The Cassa (abbr. C.d.p.) è stata fondata a Torino nel 1850, come “istituzione pubblica” con la missione della gestione del risparmio postale e il suo impiego “prestandolo” agli Enti Locali per finanziare gli investimenti sul loro territorio.
Per la suddetta missione l’iter è tuttora il seguente: la C.d.p. è l’emittente, lo Stato garantisce e Poste Italiane colloca i titoli in esclusiva ai risparmiatori (i libretti di risparmio postale dal 1876 e i buoni fruttiferi postali dal 1925).
Nella trasformazione continua che sta vivendo, da quasi un decennio, la C.d.p. si ritrova ad essere oggi una società per azioni presieduta dall’ex ministro Franco Bassanini, con azionisti lo Stato Italiano al 70% e le Fondazioni Bancarie al 30%.
He purchased a part of the state holdings and has been reclassified by Eurostat as Financial intermediary, and the European Central Bank as Financial Institution monetary.
E 'was authorized to deal with social housing finance, to large small and medium-sized Italian, infrastructure development and public.
In practice, as stated by the president Bassanini, in a recent interview with Corriere della Sera, a part of the postal savings (it is estimated equal to 220 billion out of stock 12 millions of savers - the source site C.d.p.) supports the growth of Italy.
This is the "additional institutional mission" of the CDP, as is the case, for many more years, in France and Germany.
So then C.d.p. is located almost daily at the center of the economic and financial Italian (see purchase through the co-constituted Fondo2i Sgr, of companies such as Metroweb, shareholdings important that they see, for example, as the largest shareholder of ENI).
It is hoped that it remains firm on his first mission, above said, management of postal savings, which having regard to its large diffusion, can be considered "the savings of Italians".
