«After 15 years no progress in Italian economy»

by Emanuele Bonini

«It's almost fifteen years that Italy calls for a temporary relaxation of European deficit and debt reduction targets, but it seems this has not produced any results. And Matteo Renzi's 80 Euros bonus produced a null impact as well». Daniel Gros didn't spend very fair words for Italy. Talking to us the director of the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) warned time is over for the country, whit a a lack of credibility and confidence at international level. Europe and European partners are fed up. Promises are not acceptable any more, Gros basically said. For Renzi and company is time to invert trends and boost Italian economy. «I don't think that a country can sustain and maintain growth with deficit and public debt levels even higher than usual», said the CEPS chief. «For a country as Italy it would be dangerous, too».
