ROME - Italy's new prime minister will start out addressing the same big challenges that crippled the previous government: a strategy for the coronavirus pandemic and how to effectively spend more than 200 billion euros ($244 billion) in European Union coronavirus recovery fund, analysts have said.
Mario Draghi, the 73-year-old former European Central Bank (ECB) governor who came out of retirement to take charge of a wide-ranging coalition government, was sworn in as prime minister Saturday.
