(ANSA) - ROME, OCTOBER 29 - The Covid crisis cuts consumption expands the savings of Italians who can afford it while still a part in serious difficulty persists.
This is what emerges from the AcriI-Ipsos research in view of the savings day where it is underlined, however, that the majority (63%) prefer liquidity.
As president AcriFrancesco Profumo explains, "there is a great polarization among Italians" and "this increase in savings does not increase investments and is not an engine of development".
And so "the percentage of Italians who identify with those who save without too many sacrifices (58%) and who look with satisfaction at the last 12 months, a period during which their own provision of reserves has increased".
The percentage of families who claim to have been hit by the crisis with regard to work also increases and the economic gap increases.
In 2020, 27% of the sample against 23% of the previous year declared that they had been hit (13% in a serious way such as the loss of their job or lack of salary) (ANSA).
