Italy shd prepare for end of QE (2)

(ANSA) - Rome, April 12 - Italy should be prepared for the end of the European Central Bank's bond-buying programme, quantitative easing (QE), by the end of next year, according to the government's economic and financial blueprint, the DEF.
    Healthy public finances are a prerequisite for containing spending on interests on Italy's big public debt, the DEF said, freeing up resources for "cutting the tax burden, investments and social inclusion". The ECB's QE programme has helped weaker eurozone economies recover from the financial crisis more than they would otherwise have done.
