(ANSA) - Rome, April 19 - The Italian economic recovery is slow and exposed to risks, the Parliamentary Budget Office (UPB) said on the government's DEF economic blueprint Tuesday. Italy has started along "a path of recovery with characteristics of anomalous slowness," the UPB said, both "compared to the previous cyclical expansive phases and if you consider the strong fall from which the economy ha to recover", said the UPB's Alberto Zanardi. He said the recovery is "exposed to risks of deterioration of the international context and conditioned by the difficulty which stimulus policies are meeting in the European area".
