Confindustria: expensive energy, -0.8% the impact on the 2022 GDP

(ANSA) - ROME, JANUARY 22 - "With the current abnormal energy prices, eroded margins, the scarcity of commodities and the increase in infections, the risk is that the GDP will suffer a stop in the first quarter: at least -0.8% the impact of the expensive energy on the PIL of 2022 ", warns the Confindustria Study Center.

"The cost of energy - the economists of viadell'Astronomia stressed - affects the Italian industry" while "the high contagions slow down the consumption of services".

We are witnessing a "high-risk ascent. At the beginning of 2022 the clouds became denser, already thickening at the end of 2021 on the rise of the Italian pil, estimated to slow down in the fourth quarter".
