WEEKEND: ITALY FACES POPULIST ANGER… BANKS FLIRT WITH DISASTER AS RENZI TEETERS

But don’t be surprised if Italy’s troubled banks sidestep disaster yet again.
The next chapter could start Sunday, when polls conducted before a pre-election blackout suggest Italian voters will reject a constitutional change to streamline the legislative process, a decision that could lead Prime Minister Matteo Renzi to resign. Should he quit, Italy may enter a period of political and market turmoil just as its fragile banks are struggling to win back the confidence of investors and regulators. Monte Paschi is in the middle of a 5 billion-euro ($5.3 billion) capital raising, while UniCredit SpA, Italy’s biggest lender, is considering its own stock offering.
