BaNCa POPOLare di SONDrio<br />
WORLD SavINGS DAY<br />
Banca Popolare di Sondrio celebrates each year the concept of saving and the importance<br />
of good management of money – not only for individuals, but for the whole community.<br />
By Mara Simonini, Banca Popolare di Sondrio<br />
World Savings Day is linked to an important<br />
Italian economist and political<br />
analyst, Mr. Maffeo Pantaleoni, who died<br />
in 1924 and inspired the day during a<br />
speech he gave in Milan in 1924 at the<br />
first <strong>International</strong> Savings Congress.<br />
Savings were said to be not only the<br />
foundation of society’s economic education<br />
but also a fundamental discipline<br />
for all communities for the better use<br />
of wealth. Since then, every October 31<br />
– the day the first Congress ended – has<br />
been declared “Savings Day.” The day<br />
offers a moment of reflection for all<br />
public institutions, banks, and citizens<br />
to celebrate the concept of thrift as the<br />
economic engine of growth for local<br />
communities.<br />
Faithful to its “people’s bank” mission by<br />
remaining close to the territory in which<br />
it operates, Banca Popolare di Sondrio,<br />
which is active all year in organizing<br />
social and cultural initiatives open to the<br />
public, does all in its power to make sure<br />
October 31 is properly celebrated. For<br />
World Savings Day, the bank organizes<br />
initiatives to bring people’s attention to<br />
savings, without which banks could not<br />
operate, as their activities are based on<br />
collection and loans.<br />
More specifically, the last three editions<br />
have concentrated on three sectors fundamental<br />
to the country’s economy:<br />
agriculture, crafts, and commerce. Before<br />
a large audience and sector experts,<br />
