Premier Giuseppe Conte said Monday
that his government's budget plans will foster growth while
keeping the State accounts in order after it announced last week
it intends to let the deficit-to-GDP ratio rise to 2.4% last
week.
"We have laid down the foundation for a serious, courageous
budget, which looks towards growth within a framework of
stability in the public accounts," Conte said on Facebook.
"(It is) a budget that aims to offer responses to widespread
poverty, to pensioners, to families, to savers harmed by the
bank crises, which does not take one euro away from social
services or health.
"A budget that starts to lower taxes and sets its sights on
the biggest investment plan in the history of the Italian
republic.
"A budget that will be a turning point for the revival of the
country and for social development".
