Borrower of the year

Italy

IF YOU WANT to talk to Fabrizio Ghisellini on the phone, be prepared to be quick and to the point. As the head of international funding at the Italian treasury in Rome, Ghisellini is responsible for $15 billion to $20 billion of issuance a year.

And all that debt, plus the country’s vast domestic issuance programme, which has about €1,300 billion ($1,200 billion) outstanding, is managed by a team of just 10 people.
