In Italy, after stagnating in 2005, the economy now shows some signs of recovery. |
Productivity growth is the only possible way to achieve prosperity, to create a solid, sustainable foundation for wage increases and to ensure the country's development, for ourselves and for future generations. |
Since the 1990s, the economy has been bogged down. New players have emerged. They are formidable in Asia, but also present in Latin America and in Central and Eastern Europe. |
The French protectionist model is doomed to failure. Better to follow the examples from London and Berlin. |
There is a recovery, it's doubtless under way. There are signs that indicate that the economy is improving. |
There is no reason for Italy not to look towards the future with enthusiasm. We have our problems, but we will solve them, believing that we have all that we need to be able to do so; talent, capital and the attention of the international community. |
There is still uncertainty, however, about the extent and durability of the country's economic growth, which continues to be weighed down by unresolved structural problems. |
