ITALY
ITALY: On Italy, Barclays' Fabio Fois writes on the likely outcomes in
government talks:
1)Supporting a caretaker government, possibly led by Carlo Cottarelli, provided
snap elections are held as early as September/October.
2) Appointing a centre-right led government with the passive support of other
political forces in Parliament.
3) Appointing a 5SM, League (L) and Fratelli di Italia FdI government. Such a
government could be headed by Mr Giorgetti, a senior L member, while Carlo
Cottarelli might take the job of Finance Minister.
In the eyes of investors this could guarantee that such an anti-establishment
government would maintain a constructive approach (albeit likely more
contentious than in previous years) with EU authorities on public finance
management and institutional relationships.
