The province of Sassari is second to last in Italy for the amount of money deposited in banks per resident. The average stands at €9,741 per capita, ahead only of Crotone.

The figure comes from a study by Adusbef, based on statistics from the Bank of Italy and referring to household deposits.

Sassari ahead only of Crotone

The gap compared with the provinces at the top of the ranking is significant.

Leading the national ranking is Bolzano, with almost €30,400 deposited per resident. It is followed by Milan with around €27,900, Piacenza with €26,800, Sondrio with €26,000 and Belluno with approximately €25,650.

At the opposite end is Crotone, with €9,679 per capita, immediately followed by the province of Sassari with €9,741. Slightly higher up is another Sardinian province, Nuoro, with around €10,600.

It is important to stress that the survey concerns the entire province of Sassari and not only the provincial capital.

Deposits have increased in Sardinia

The figure for Sassari becomes even more interesting when compared with the regional trend.

Between 2016 and 2026, according to Adusbef's analysis, the nominal value of bank deposits in Sardinia increased by 42.7%, one of the highest increases recorded in Italy.

However, the growth in the sums held in accounts does not automatically mean an equivalent increase in household well-being. Greater liquidity may also be linked to caution, reduced consumption and the choice to keep part of one's savings immediately available.

A figure to be read in the territory's economic context

The picture provided by current accounts therefore tells only part of the local economy.

In the Sassari area, different indicators coexist: on the one hand, average deposits are among the lowest in the country, while on the other, some sectors are showing signs of growth. In summer 2026, for example, tourism in Sassari was driven mainly by the increase in foreign visitors.

The figure of €9,741 per capita nevertheless remains significant because it highlights the wide gap between Italian territories in the amount of liquidity households keep in bank accounts.

A ranking that, once again, reveals an Italy that is economically very different from one province to the next.
