Bank of Italy Governor Ignazio
Visco said it is necessary to stop scapegoating the European
Union and migrants if Italy is going to get on the path to
sustained growth.
Giving a lecture in Ancona, Visco said an "effective plan"
for growth "requires the definitive abandonment of the easy and
illusory search for scapegoats - Europe, finance, the markets,
immigrants - so it can instead be based on an in-depth analysis
of the evils of our economy.
"Immigration can make a positive contribution to the
country's productive capacity," he continued.
"Studies do not reveal negative effects of immigration on
workers in the host country, not in terms of employment nor
earning levels".
