This statistic illustrates the average risk free rate (RF) used in Italy in 2015, 2017 and 2018. It can be seen that the average risk free rate fluctuated during this period. The risk free rate is a theoretical rate of return of an investment with zero risk. This rate represents the minimum interest an investor would expect from a risk free investment over a period of time. It is important to remember that the risk free rate is only theoretical as all investments carry even the smallest of risks. As of 2018 the risk free rate in Italy was 1.5 percent.
