Markets and investors worried

Frankfurt, Rome Italy will become a country with unlimited financial possibilities after parliamentary elections on September 25, according to Matteo Salvini, head of Italy’s right-wing party Lega. Energy cost problem? The state must solve it, even if it has a new debt of 30 billion. Steer? Should all Italians pay only 15 percent, even if it costs 50 billion euros.

Such statements worry international investors. Italian government bonds have been on a sell-off list for weeks, rating agencies are lowering their outlook, and hedge funds are betting against the country. Markets are already speculating about the possibility of a new debt crisis and even a reconciliation of the euro.
