Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena

 The bank hopes to raise €2.5 billion, equivalent to $2.4 billion, to pay for restructuring costs and shore up its capital base under terms agreed with European authorities earlier this year.

Italy’s government rescued MPS in 2017, with the aim of giving the bank a temporary lifeline and re-privatizing it at a later stage. 

Five years later, however, the government still hasn’t found a buyer.
