Rise of e-services at core of Italian postal service

Digital services are at the core of transformation of Poste Italiane, Italy's national postal service, which has launched a partial privatization, company CEO and general manager Francesco Caio told Xinhua in an interview recently.

"In the past months, we have worked for the settlement and fulfillment of a plan which starts from the changed needs of citizens," Caio explained.

"There are less correspondence, more e-commerce, more parcels, more need for digital payments, and more need for asset management," he said.
