The guaranteed minimum fixed rate will be announced by the MEF on Friday 12th June 2026 and may be revised, only upwards, at the closing of the placement, based on market conditions. In addition, an extra final bonus equal to 0.6% of the invested capital is foreseen for those who purchase BTP Italia Sì during the placement days and hold it continuously until the final maturity."
