Italy Devalues Lira By 41 Percent Under Mussolini
Premier Mussolini ordered a 41 percent devaluation of the Italian lira to about 19 per dollar and 90 per pound, with a 5 percent property levy, new taxes on stock dividends and profits, price controls, and a 65 percent cut in grain duties. The move returns the lira to pre-devaluation parity and follows a week of currency revisions among European nations.
