ROME - Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte told his fellow European Union leaders on Tuesday that coronavirus was causing a “socio-economic tsunami” across Europe and that dedicated bonds may be needed to cushion the hit, an Italian government source said. EU leaders were debating on a videocall on Tuesday whether to shut down Europe’s external borders and offer economic stimulus as the continent scrambles to contain the quick spread of the disease on its soil.
The government source said Conte warned no EU country would be left untouched by the “tsunami” and said special “coronavirus bonds” or a European guarantee fund to help countries finance urgent health and economic policies.Our Standards:
