Brexit and Italy are among the
main risks that might prevent Europe from prospering, OECD chief
economist Laurence Boone said at the presentation of the body's
Interim Economic Outlook in Paris Thursday.
Asked what were the political risks that might prevent Europe
prospering, Boone replied: "The first is Brexit...then there is
what is happening in Italy, where growth is weak and debt high.
"They must absolutely continue the reforms launched by the
previous government.
And public spending must not be used to artificially boost
growth with consumption, but must aim for productive
investments".
