The bond spread has fallen to
recent lows and the government "trusts" it will fall further,
Premier Giuseppe Conte said Friday.
"The spread is at its lowest since May 2018 and we trust it
will fall still more," Conte said on the sidelines of the
Italian Banking Association's annual assembly.
He said the fact that the government had averted an EU debt
infringement procedure with a 7.6 billion euro supplementary
budget "is helping".
Conte said "we have the confidence of the markets and we
trust that we will gain it ever more and continue in this
direction.
"Obviously we are keeping the accounts in order but the
problem is we don't want to do it with repressive measures but
with measures that allow growth and job (creation)".
