In an interview with Sputnik Italia, the president of the Italian Budget Committee in the parliament, Claudio Borghi, gave some insights into the future of the euro as a currency, the policy of the new leadership of the European Central Bank, ECB President Mario Draghi and the EU’s economy in general.
