Italy "has made progress in terms of reforms and fiscal consolidation" and for the International Monetary Fund "it is important that they continue". She said it William Murray, deputy spokesman of the Washington institute during the usual bi-weekly press conference.
The spokesman, answering those who asked if the IMF is following the evolution of the political situation in Italy, reiterated that he "does not want to comment on the Italian political process". Murray recalled that IMF representatives arrived in Italy this week and will stay for about two weeks between Milan and Rome as part of a routine financial assessment mission, during which risks, resilience will be assessed to the crisis and the state of the banking system.
