The Italian authorities will have to answer, on Monday 22 October, three main questions raised by the European Commission concerning the Italian draft budget for 2019.
"The structural deficit, the level of debt and the ability to sustain growth. These are the three points on which the exchange should focus" with Rome, said Economic and Financial Affairs Commissioner Pierre Moscovici on Friday 19 May in the Italian capital. "You have to invest to grow and grow to reduce debt," he added.
