Comments by Italy's deputy prime minister Matteo Salvini
- Both debt and deficit will fall
- "Doesn't give a damn" about threats by the EU
Salvini is also displaying some hints of overzealous populism in his interview here saying that there is "someone in Europe that aims to put Italy on its knees in order to buy its banks and companies at a low price". Certainly an interesting rhetoric going on there.
The euro remains unphased and stays underpinned on the day though. EUR/USD sits at 1.1580 currently with EUR/JPY at 131.78.
