Zusammenfassung:This 2013 Article IV Consultation highlights Italy's assesses measures undertaken to revive economic growth. Italy is vulnerable to a renewal of euro area tension and risks from domestic policy slippages, stalling of structural reforms, and banking distress that could undermine confidence.
