CERNOBBIO, Italy, April 1 (Reuters) - The outlook for
the Italian economy is improving but higher interest rates
designed to curb inflation could pose a threat to growth,
Italy's economy minister said on Saturday.
"Fighting inflation with monetary policy is not enough,
recession cannot be the price paid for fighting inflation,"
Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti told a business forum in
northern Italy.
