Giulio Tremonti, Italian Finance Minister, has proposed in the autumn of 2011 that investors back a state property 'fund of funds', managed by the Treasury with oversight from the Bank of Italy, that would seek long-term income from sales, leases and concessions of state-owned property.

Separately, Confindustria, Italy’s business association, presented Silvio Berlusconi’s government on the 30 September 2011 with a document outlining the structural reforms it said the government must make in order to relaunch the country’s growth.
