Economy Minister Pier Carlo
Padoan said Monday that Italy has started to get its "monster'
debt of over two trillion euros, more than 130% of GDP, under
control.
"Italy is one of the countries in the eurozone and the
European union to have made the biggest effort on public
finances and it is continuing to do because we have this monster
debt, which now we are starting to tame," Padoan told a meeting
on public finance organised by the Lazio regional government.
"The debt has stopped growing and it will start to come
down this year".
