Intesa breaks out of Italy in CIB

Despite an overwhelmingly Italian business in retail, Intesa Sanpaolo has stepped up its share of corporate and investment banking revenue outside the country. In its global growth markets, divisional chief Mauro Micillo says the firm is here to stay.

Halfway through his conversation with Euromoney, Mauro Micillo, head of Intesa Sanpaolo’s investment banking division, asks us to guess how much of its client business comes from outside Italy.

This is the EU’s biggest bank by market capitalization after BNP Paribas and Banco Santander, with a balance sheet of almost €1 trillion. Its valuation is higher than BNPP and Santander, and its market cap is bigger than banks that are larger by assets, Deutsche Bank or Societe Generale.
