GDP, Lagarde: ‘Impressed by Italy’s economic development and public finance management

Turin, 30 October (LaPresse) – ‘Is Italy’s rating undervalued compared to other countries such as France? I don’t want to judge individual countries, let alone make comparisons between different countries, but I was impressed by your country’s economic development and public finance management.’ So said Christine Lagarde, President of the ECB, in an interview with “Cinque Minuti” on Rai1. Italy’s failure to ratify the ESM ‘is a problem, I think,’ Lagarde added.
