It's worth noting that there is a jump from a 137B€ debt expriring in 2011 to nearly 270 B€ in 2012. The only hope is that the global economy won't leave Italy behind.
|
In the past 10 years Italy's GDP has barely grown at all. In fact, when stating a ~2% increase in 10 years, one should take into account population growth and that in those years a considerable amount of public debt was underwritten by foreign investors — about 600B€.
