ROMA (ITALPRESS) – Vice-President of the European Commission Valdis Dombrovskis in an exclusive interview with the Gr1 reported having met the Italian economy minister in Washington. Giorgetti’s estimate is that Italy this year falls below 3% in the deficit/Pil ratio. “In this case – said Dombrovskis in Washington to participate in the annual meeting of the International Monetary Fund – in the next semester, in spring, if the data will be confirmed we will remove Italy from the infringement procedure for excessive deficit.”.
On the impact of growth duties, the Commissioner for Economic Affairs explained: “the European Commission has made simulations. The forecast is a 0.2% slowdown for Europe, while in the United States it would be 0.7%. Then specifically about this year – he always told Radio Rai microphones – the economy was quite resilient, but the effects will be seen especially next year.”.
Finally, with regard to new aid to Ukraine, Dombrovskis added that “in meetings with US Treasury Secretary Bessent I outlined the EU’s redress loan initiative and also sought the support of the United States and other G7 partners for further financing of Ukraine over the next two years, and also support for the IMF program, and I think we are making progress in this regard.”.
