Economy Minister Giovanni Tria said
Wednesday a major public works programme could be funded in
deficit with Italy's big public debt, the second-biggest in the
eurozone after Greece's, unaffected.
"A huge programme of public infrastructure projects could be
implemented and funded in deficit without creating a problem of
sustainability of the public debt via a monetary financing
clearly conditioned at a European level," he said in a new book
with another economist, Pasquale Lucio Scandizzo.
This investment programme would have a strong "positive
effect" with "virtuous effects on long-term growth".
