Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte promised 'massive shock therapy'...
ROME - Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte promised “massive shock therapy” to overcome the impact of the coronavirus outbreak, after his government shut off much of the country’s industrial and business heartland to combat the crisis.
“We will not stop here. We will use a massive shock therapy. To come out of this emergency we will use all human and economic resources,” he said. The Milan bourse, which was already down some 17% since the outbreak in northern Italy, plunged at Monday’s opening, with the blue chip FTMIB index down 11%.
International flights in and out of Milan’s Malpensa airport have been suspended, increasing pressure on sectors from manufacturing to tourism which had already been hit by plunging orders and canceled bookings. “The economic measures in the works will be vigorous, commensurate to current needs, but temporary,” the Economy Ministry said in a separate statement on Monday, adding that Italy remained committed to reducing its debt as soon as the epidemic and its consequences were overcome.
