MILAN, April 12 (Reuters) - Italian residents' deposits
with domestic banks were down again in February, touching an
over two-year low, at 2.64 trillion euros ($2.88 trillion)
compared with 2.66 trillion in January, data from the Bank of
Italy showed on Wednesday.
The decline is the fourth in a row on a monthly basis and it
mirrors a wider trend in the euro zone even before banking
turmoil in March.
On a yearly basis, Italian residents' deposits with domestic
banks fell 2.4% in February after a 1.8% decline in January,
central bank data showed.
