ISTAT said Friday that Italy's GDP
in 2016 was still 7% lower than at the start of the economic
crisis in 2008 despite two years of recovery. It said that the
Italian economy did not get back above the 2000 GDP level until
2016. It said Italy was behind its European partners in growth
terms, with Spain's recovery to pre-crisis levels "almost
complete" and Germany and France 8% and 4% above them
respectively.
