Italy's GDP will rise by 0.8% this
year and the same next, the IMF said Tuesday, raising their 207
estimate by 0.1%. Italian growth is "decidedly below its
potential," it said. Italy's debt will be a better-than-expected
132.8% of GDP this year and will fall to 131.6% next year, below
the government's forecast, the IMF said. Unemployment will fall
to 11.4% this year and 11% next, the IMF said. Italy is lagging
behind most of the rest of the EU in most macroeconomic
parameters, the IMF said.
