Premier Giuseppe Conte said
Monday that his government is seeking to bring down the labour
tax wedge to help workers and boost the economy.
"The direction of our economic policy is very clear," Conte
said in New York, where he is taking part in the UN General
Assembly.
"We must free up resources for the tax wedge.
"We'll want to find these resources and use them to help the
workers.
"We want workers to have pay cheques with more money to
spend.
"This is the best way to increase domestic demand as it helps
households".
Conte said another priority was to find the money to avert an
increase in VAT that is scheduled to kick in next year.
