Italy is no longer among the risk factors of the global economy. Thus stated economics minister Roberto Gualtieri, on the sidelines of the work of the International Monetary Fund. "They have been three intense, positive days of work," says Gualtieri, pointing out that Italy is among "those who believe that alongside the monetary policies it is necessary to strengthen the role of fiscal policies to strengthen growth".

Reduce the debt for the credibility of the country
The Italian public debt has been put on a downward trajectory, but with numbers that are realistic. The credibility of the country is at stake, the minister said.

The maneuver does not change, error does not reduce taxes
The maneuver does not change, it would be a mistake not to reduce taxes on consumption and labor, Gualtieri said later during a joint press conference with the governor of the bank of Italy Ignazio Visco.

Debt relief must be realistic
Debt relief must be realistic and avoid a pro-cyclical impact on the economy, says Gualtieri.

No imminent threats to world stability
There is no imminent threat to global financial stability, the Economy Minister reassures. "But the expectations of low long-term rates - explained the Minister of the Economy - must prompt us in time to introduce measures that avoid the risk becoming dangerous". However, Visco stressed that "there are risks", especially those related to credit and "we need to be very careful".
