Why It Matters
Government forecasts suggest that without the PNRR (National Recovery and Resilience Plan), Italy would experience negative growth rates. Even with the PNRR, the country's potential GDP growth remains very low, projected between 0% and 0.3% in the medium term.
Le previsioni del governo suggeriscono che senza il PNRR l’Italia registrerebbe tassi di crescita negativi. Inoltre, anche con il PNRR il Pil potenziale rimane estremamente basso e si colloca fra lo zero e lo 0,3% nel medio termine. La sfida riguarda la produttività: la speranza è che la dinamica di questa variabile, alimentata dalla piena maturazione delle riforme, prosegua a tassi sostenuti oltre l’orizzonte di previsione del governo (2035)
