Ignazio Visco is an Italian economist and central banker and Governor of the Bank of Italy from 2011 to 2023.

He attended the 2004 Bilderberg meeting.

Education

Visco studied economics at the La Sapienza University of Rome and graduated in 1971. He later received a master's degree and a doctorate from the Wharton School in Philadelphia in 1974.

Career

In 1972, Visco began his career at the Bank of Italy and in 1990 he was named head of the research department. From 1997 to 2002 he was Chief Economist and Director of the OECD's Economics Department. From 2007 to 2011 he was deputy Director General of the Bank of Italy.

On 20 October 2011, he was appointed by the Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi, to become Governor of the Bank of Italy in place of the outgoing Mario Draghi, in turn appointed president of the European Central Bank.

The appointment of Visco has aroused some surprise: in fact he was not a favorite to the succession. In the end the choice of Visco fell back as an internal solution, of continuity with the past and not preferred by Draghi.

In 2010 he had an annual income of 405 201 euro. Second term

However, Visco's mandate was renewed on 27 October 2017 by the Prime Minister, Paolo Gentiloni, despite numerous controversies due to alleged deficiencies in BankItalia's supervision of the banking system.

We can be rapid and efficient in all areas, in order to achieve a capacity for economic growth that can more than offset the increase in debt and ease social tensions.

In 2021, he supported a joint European Union debt to manage public debt accumulated by member states during the "COVID-19 pandemic", a major supranational deep state goal:
