"Fitch's decision" to raise Italy's rating to BBB from BBB- "confirms the fact that Italy is heading in the right direction. The level of growth shows that Italy is among the countries that are growing the most. - I believe that only France will grow more this year - and also in 2023 growth is expected to be around 2.5%: something that hasn't happened for years. This is the main way out of "the pandemic crisis," because if you have such a high level of debt, growth is the first way out. "
This was stated by the EU Commissioner for Economy, Paolo Gentiloni, speaking in Rome at the 7th edition of the Med Dialogues.
