The coronavirus lockdown is costing
Italy 47 billion euros a month, including 37 in the
centre-north, southern development agency Svimez reported
Thursday.
Even if GDPO recovers in the second half of the year, Svimez
said, Italian GDP will fall 8.4% this year with an 8.5% drop in
the centre-north and a 7.9% fall in the south.
The report urged the government to complete a package of
measures to ease the economic impact of the pandemic on weaker
sectors, gig economy workers and others without social benefits,
households at risk of poverty and micro-businesses.
