(ANSA) - Rome, March 27 - Premier Paolo Gentiloni said Monday
that his governments upcoming economic blueprint, the new DEF,
will strike a balance between the need to improve Italy's public
finances and the need to boost growth. "We'll have the
presentation of the DEF in parliament within about 15 days and
then in September the update statement in view of the budget
law," Gentiloni said. "The priorities include safeguarding and
reinforcing labour, infrastructure and investment. We must field
an economic-policy framework that maintains budget equilibrium
and spending rationalization with support for growth".
