Economy Ministry Giovanni Tria
told the Blooomberg Forum in Milan on Tuesday that "public
investment must return to being 3% of GDP in the short term" to
make up for lost ground in recent years.
He also said it was necessary to ensure that Italy's middle
classes pay less tax.
"It is necessary to go beyond the (government's proposed)
flat tax," Tria said.
"We are at an advanced stage in a study to reduce the tax
burden on the middle class while maintaining a manageable
budget".
