ROME, May 31 (Reuters) - The head of Italy's central bank on Wednesday backed the introduction of a minimum wage to address social inequalities, in comments that contrast with the position of Rome's right- wing administration on the subject.
In a speech, Bank of Italy Governor Ignazio Visco also urged the government not to jeopardise the tight schedule agreed with European Union authorities to use 192 billion euros ($211 billion) of post-pandemic recovery funds.
