(ANSA) - Rome, May 24 - Italy is considered a country where
corruption is not at a low level, indeed rather high, but its
ranking has risen lately, Bank of Italy Governor Ignazio Visco
said Thursday. Speaking alongside corruption prevention chiefs
from anti-corruption agency ANAC, Visco however insisted "that
this recovery of trust should be consolidated and our guard
remain high". He said the distortion of competition linked to
corruption, as well as tax evasion, damaged the growth of
companies and the economic system as a whole.
