Brussels, 6 March (LaPresse) – For Italy, one aspect that needs to be reflected on is that most of the measures proposed so far affect the debt of member states and therefore risk producing a reputational or sustainability problem. This was reported by Italian sources in the context of the ongoing European Council in Brussels. According to Italy, therefore, it is not enough to stop or only imagine instruments that pass through the increase of national debt. This is why Italy has proposed to discuss in particular the possibility of a European guarantee for defence investments, along the lines of InvestEu, also with the aim of maximising the use of private funds in addition to public funds. Finance Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti will present a proposal to this effect at the Ecofin in the coming days.
