Speaking at an event at Milan's stock exchange,
Renzi said the measures would help banks manage bad loans and
also put them on a level playing field with lenders in other
countries.
"I think in the next few weeks, there will be a move on bad
loans and in general on instruments that will give our banking
system the same regulatory conditions as other European
countries will take shape," he said.
Italy has been working on a project to set up a state-sponsored
vehicle to pool banks' soured debts but progress has been slow
because of European state aid rules.
The government is also planning to introduce tax credits and
streamline bankruptcy procedures to help lenders deal with some
350 billion euros of bad debts.
