The total monetary value of protests exceeded €264 million, with cambiali (88.7% of total) accounting for €181 million and assegni (11.3%) for €83 million. While protest numbers fell slightly, their value rose 10.5% year-on-year. Regional trends showed declines in the North-West (-5.7%) and Islands (-6.8%), with the Centre experiencing a 6.4% increase. Cambiali remained dominant, with higher protest rates in the North-West (46.9 per 1,000 issued) and lower usage in the Islands (14.6 per 1,000). Assegni saw a 4.2% overall increase, with notable growth in the Centre (+38.6%) and Islands (+17.7%). The shift toward digital payments and stricter oversight mechanisms contributed to the long-term decline in protest numbers.
