Undersecretary calls on pension funds to invest in Italy

(AGI) Rome, March 13 - Cabinet Undersecretary Graziano Delrio called on pension funds to invest in Italy on Rai3's Agora TV talk show on Thursday. "I would like to launch an appeal: trade unions' or other trade associations' pension funds often invest in German or other government bonds. I call on you to put your trust in Italy and to place your investments, your workers' investments, in the coffers of the Italian State", he said.

"The government will use the pension funds to stimulate companies to increase their tax credit to hire researchers, simplify recruitment processes and de-tax labour costs", Delrio explained.
