MILAN (ITALPRESS) – “If we look at the tax position of European countries we are not in a state of austerity absolutely. In 2025, for example, we had a fiscal expansion. Now does this mean that we can simply forget about the rules and go beyond the limits and disciplines we have self-imposed? No. We have to spend where we can generate growth, make reforms that will lead to growth, which will help us to be more productive in Europe, which will ensure greater income for European citizens.” This was said by the president of the European Central Bank Christine Lagarde guest of the transmission “What time does” to the question on a possible derogation to the Stability Pact to face the energy crisis. “ I think that what is important at present is first of all to act together as Europeans, instead of looking for different paths because our enemies would be excited about fragmentation – he emphasized -. Secondly, we must stick to the rules. We have rules in terms of budget, in terms of deficit, we have processes that work and we have to operate within these rules. If the rules apply throughout Europe and are followed correctly, then the markets will automatically appreciate and understand that this or this other country is a country in which to invest because the risk does not exist.”.
