    ERJ staff report (BC)

    By Lisa Jucca

    Milan – Italian investment bank Mediobanca is ready to gradually exit its 4.6 percent stake in tiremaker Pirelli as well as other strategic holdings, a source with direct knowledge of the situation is reported by Lisa Jucca of Reuters to have said.

    The Milan-based bank, which owns stakes in some of Italy's biggest companies, will present a new business plan to focus on its banking business and “break with years of meddling in Italy's top corporate developments”.

    Shrinking returns amid a deep economic crisis at home have prompted the bank to rethink its corporate investment strategy.

    The bank's 2013-2016 plan will call for retrenching its core investment banking operations and putting greater focus on its retail bank, a source of stable liquidity, as well as on its high-margin consumer finance division.

    Apart from the Pirelli stake, Mediobanca's biggest financial holdings are a 13.2 percent stake in life insurer Generali, about 13.7 percent in Italian publisher RCS Mediagroup and 11.6 percent of Telco, the holding company which controls Telecom Italia.
