The Italian Treasury has appointed Lazard and Gianni, Origoni, Grippo, Cappelli & Partners to advise on the privatisation of a 40% stake in Poste Italiane, the Italian-language daily Il Messaggero reported. The item did not cite sources for the claim.
The report noted that the Italian government hopes to raise at least EUR 4bn from the sale.
An unsourced report in Il Corriere della Sera said that Poste Italiane has chosen Rothschild as its advisor.
Previous reports have said that the privatisation will most likely take place via an IPO.
