The debt of Italy's public
administrations fell 2.2 billion euros to 2.4446 trillion euros
in November compared to October, the Bank of Italy said
Wednesday.
The BoI said the drop was due to the current account surplus
of 1.6 billion and other factors.
Italy's public debt is over 130% of GDP.
That makes it the second biggest in the eurozone after
Greece.
The high public debt is one of the reasons why Italy
sometimes comes under pressure on financial markets.
Successive governments have stressed Italy's fundamentals are
solid.
