Qualche dato dall’Eurostat: benvenuti in Italia
Ok, questo non è un blog di economia o di finanza… ma vi faccio vedere ciò che leggo in questi giorni. Come noterete, poca roba italiana: sono curioso di leggere commenti dai nostri vicini europei. Qui un articolo dell’economist, da cui è tratto il pezzo qui sotto. Buona lettura.
In the euro zone, Italy is the country most likely to tip into recession in the next 12 months. In the mid-1990s its GDP per head, at purchasing-power parity, was 20% above the average for the 27 countries in today’s European Union. It was richer than Britain and France, and second to Germany among big EU states. Twelve years on, it has fallen below the EU 27 average for the first time.
In 2006 it was overtaken by Spain; next year it may fall behind Greece (see chart). Francesco Grillo, at the London School of Economics, suggests that, if current trends remain unchanged, Romania will overtake Italy in 2020.
