Il sistema bancario ombra (shadow banking system) ha visto un incredibile, costante e rapido sviluppo negli ultimi decenni. Nato per agevolare il sistema bancario tradizionale nei finanziamenti a breve, repo, aumento della leva finanziaria e cartolarizzazioni dei crediti, ha giocato (e gioca tuttora) un ruolo fondamentale nell’alimentare una sempre maggiore finanziarizzazione dell’economia, il predominio della finanza sull’economia reale, con annessi rischi sistemici. Nel 2023 le dimensioni del settore delle istituzioni finanziarie non bancarie (NBFI) sono aumentate dell’8,5% rispetto all’anno precedente, più del doppio del ritmo di crescita del settore bancario, portando la quota delle istituzioni finanziarie non bancarie sul totale delle attività finanziarie globali al 49,1%. Nel 2025 la quota delle istituzioni finanziarie non bancarie (NBFI) è salita al 50%, pari a circa 250.000 miliardi di dollari, con la misura ristretta dello shadow banking a 70.200 miliardi (+9,8%). In Italia l’insieme delle istituzioni finanziarie non bancarie che operano al di fuori dei circuiti regolamentati, appare più contenuto, vigilato e controllato nelle sue possibili conseguenze di rischio sistemico.

Abstract
The shadow banking system has seen incredible, constant and rapid development in recent decades. Created to facilitate thetraditional banking system in short-term financing, repos, increased leverage and credit securitization, it has played (and still plays) a fundamental role in fueling an ever-increasing financialization of the economy, the predominance of finance over thereal economy, with associated systemic risks. In 2023, the size of the non-banking financial institutions (NBFI) sector increased by 8.5% compared to the previous year, more than double the growth rate of the banking sector, bringing the share of non-banking financial institutions in total global financial assets to 49.1%.In 2025, the share of non-bank financial institutions (NBFI) rose to 50%, equal to approximately $250 trillion, with shadow banking narrowly measured at $70.2 trillion (+9.8%). In Italy,the set of non-banking financial institutions that operate outside of regulated circuits appears more contained, supervised and controlled in its possible consequences of systemic risk.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
