Economy Minister Pier Carlo
Padoan said Wednesday the government "is weighing the most
effective way to obtain further margins" of budget flexibility
from the EU "both because of efforts at structural reforms and
as a contribution to investments". He said the deficit/GDP ratio
would be 2.6% in 2015 and would "continue to drop". Premier
Matteo Renzi says Italy should be entitled to more wiggle room
to help lift the economy, as Germany and France have done in the
past.
