(ANSA) - New York, March 19 - The OECD said in a report for
today's financial G20 in Buenos Aires that Italian poverty had
risen and Rome's fight against corruption should be boosted.
In the last 10 years, it said, poverty had risen especially
among young people, "reflecting the ineffectiveness of
anti-poverty programmes".
It said "progress on the front of reforms depends on a
capacity to restore confidence by improving the efficiency of
the public administration and the fight against corruption".
The OECD has frequently urged Italy to continue with
structural reforms.
