The twelve months of the pandemic cost Italy a reduction of 183 billion euros in GDP and 137 billion euros for consumption, 36 of which were due to the absence of tourists;
enough to bring spending back to 1997 levels, a step back 24 years.
These are the accounts contained in the Dossier "Businesses in the pandemic: March 2020 - March 2021", prepared by Confesercenti.
In the period 262 thousand self-employed workers lost their jobs, according to traders, without interventions in 2021 they risk closing 450 thousand companies.
