(ANSA) - Rome, March 22 - The spread between Italian and
German 10-year bond yields, a gauge of Italy's borrowing costs
and of market confidence in the Italian economy, closed steady
on 184.7 points Wednesday, a shade below Tuesday's close of 185,
with the yield steady at 2.30%.
The lower the spread is, the better it is for the Italian
economy and debt-servicing costs.
The spread rose above 200 points recently on EU populist
fears.
