Standard and Poor's Italy chief
Roberto Paciotti said that "foreign investors are more confident
and willing to invest in a country in which there is continuity"
when asked about the March 4 general election in Italy on
Wednesday.
Jean-Michel Six, S&P's Europe, Middle East and Africa chief,
said the rating agency comment on "events and facts, not
election promises and not programmes".
"There is always uncertainty before the Italian elections,
although the economy is proceeding anyway, albeit not as rapidly
as we hoped," he added.
"But we as a rating agency do not make comments".
