Italy financial solidity not worsened by shocks of recent months says Giorgetti

Italy's financial solidity has not

been worsened by the shocks of recent months, Economy Minister

Giancarlo Giorgetti said Thursday.

"My job is not to delve into investment decisions, but to

highlight the results achieved, also for the benefit of those

who invest in and about Italy," Giorgetti said via video link to

the ANIA assembly.

"The country's financial solidity has not been worsened even by

the shocks of recent months.

"The credit for this goes to the production system, which is

proving capable of withstanding even the shock of the Middle

East conflict and tensions in the energy market." Since March,"

he said, "GDP has slowed, but has not fallen, and now we are

working to make up for lost time."
