(ANSA) - ROME, AUGUST 22 - A stop in Russian gas supplies in August would lead to the depletion of reserves in the countries of the euro by the end of the year, triggering rationing and recession: Without interventions on consumption, the eurozone's GDP would lose 1.7% , with an impact of 2.5% for the two most exposed countries, Italy and Germany.
By reducing consumption by 15%, as per EU plans, the impact in the euro countries would instead be 1.1%.
This is estimated by an analysis by three economists of the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), Angela Capolongo, Michael Kühl and Vlad Skovorodov.
