DIPARTIMENTO DEL TESORO Dear Investor, In 2009 the value of the continuity and regularity in the bond supply, assured also by the presence of the auctions annual calendar, has been particularly appreciated by the market. Indeed, even in a context of extreme volatility and large competition among issuers, the funding needs of the Italian State have been covered without difficulty in all market segments where the Treasury is traditionally present, resulting in no need to modify its long term issuance strategy. Therefore, it is now a great pleasure for the Treasury to offer you the 2010 calendar of the Government securities’ issuances, which keeps the usual format, with a double-faced page for each month. On the front face you will see clearly marked the dates of announcement, execution and settlement of auctions; on the back one you will find, marked with appropriate symbols, information relative to the current as well as to the previous and following months. In this way you will be able to quickly and easily keep track of auctions announced and carried out at the end of the month which settle at the beginning of the following one. With the regard to official holidays, the days when the European system for payments (TARGET) is closed will be indicated by a light-blue background, while a lighter hue indicates a national holiday on which TARGET is, in fact, operational. Since the Euro was introduced in financial markets, the Italian Treasury has adopted the TARGET calendar for settlement dates of Italian Government bond issues. As well known, ever since 2008 the Treasury has introduced some modifications in the auction methods which have enabled it to satisfy the demand in a more flexible manner, even in volatile market conditions. Among these innovations, it is worth mentioning the introduction of a discretional price setting mechanism for medium-long term bonds, whereby the Treasury clears the auction in correspondence to an amount within a preannounced range of offered volumes, and the possibility of reopening also off-the-run bonds in addition or, more rarely, in alternative to the benchmarks in the same market segment. The positive feed-backs received regarding these innovations have persuaded us to go on with this new approach, by also extending to the BTP€i sector the method adopted for nominal medium-long term bonds auctions.

Dipartimento Del tesoro

Dear Investor,

In 2009 the value of the continuity and regularity in the bond supply, assured also by the presence of the auctions annual calendar, has been particularly appreciated by the market. Indeed, even in a context of extreme volatility and large competition among issuers, the funding needs of the Italian State have been covered without difficulty in all market segments where the Treasury is traditionally present, resulting in no need to modify its long term issuance strategy. Therefore, it is now a great pleasure for the Treasury to offer you the 2010 calendar of the Government securities’ issuances, which keeps the usual format, with a double-faced page for each month. On the front face you will see clearly marked the dates of announcement, execution and settlement of auctions; on the back one you will find, marked with appropriate symbols, information relative to the current as well as to the previous and following months. In this way you will be able to quickly and easily keep track of auctions announced and carried out at the end of the month which settle at the beginning of the following one.

With the regard to official holidays, the days when the European system for payments (TARGET) is closed will be indicated by a light-blue background, while a lighter hue indicates a national holiday on which TARGET is, in fact, operational. Since the Euro was introduced in financial markets, the Italian Treasury has adopted the TARGET calendar for settlement dates of Italian Government bond issues.

As well known, ever since 2008 the Treasury has introduced some modifications in the auction methods which have enabled it to satisfy the demand in a more flexible manner, even in volatile market conditions. Among these innovations, it is worth mentioning the introduction of a discretional price setting mechanism for medium-long term bonds, whereby the Treasury clears the auction in correspondence to an amount within a preannounced range of offered volumes, and the possibility of reopening also off-the-run bonds in addition or, more rarely, in alternative to the benchmarks in the same market segment.

The positive feed-backs received regarding these innovations have persuaded us to go on with this new approach, by also extending to the BTP€i sector the method adopted for nominal medium-long term bonds auctions.

Finally, I would like to remind you that all information on the Italian Treasury’s issuance policy and bond market is available on the web-site www.publicdebt.it and on dedicated pages of the main financial information providers: Bloomberg (index page MDTE), Reuters (index page TESOROITALIA), Moneyline Telerate (index page 47710-11).

Let me conclude wishing you a new year rich of opportunities and satisfactions
