Resources for firms but also worst-off (2)

(ANSA) - Rome, September 28 - The government's economic blueprint underlying the budget, the DEF, allocates resources for businesses but also for the worst-off, Economy MInister Pier Carlo Padoan said Wednesday. Speaking on TG2, he said "we will concentrate the resources to boost businesses, on private and public investments, on productivity, but we will also make resources available for the weakest income brackets". An update to the DEF was approved by the government Tuesday night and will now be put to parliament before it and the 2017 budget bill are submitted for vetting by the EU.
