BRUSSELS (Reuters) – Italy’s economy minister Giovanni Tria said on Monday the economic policies recommended by the International Monetary Fund posed a risk to the global economy.
Asked about an IMF report that said Italy was one of the risks for the global economy, together with China and Brexit, Tria told reporters: “The fourth risk are the policies recommended by the IMF.”
