Paolo Gentiloni on Monday
warned about the hypothesis of Italy dropping the euro as its
currency, citing the turmoil caused by Brexit.
"We are no longer the bottom of the class (in the EU for
growth) after the third quarter of this year," Gentiloni told a
meeting of industrialists in the northern city of Vercelli.
"There are other European countries with lower growth
forecasts, including a friend country that has chosen,
democratically and legitimately, to leave Europe.
"I say that to those who think there are uncharted waters
outside the eurozone".
