继2021年实现了强劲复苏后,意大利经济在2022年继续扩张,全年保持了相对较高的增速。然而,随着俄乌冲突的爆发及其对意大利的能源价格和对外贸易条件的影响日趋严重,2022年意大利的经济活动越来越受到抑制,经济增长最终在第四季度陷入停滞。尽管如此,2022年底能源价格已出现显著下降,这会逐步降低通胀水平并支持经济增长,因此2023年意大利的经济前景并非那么悲观。此外,未来三年,由“下一代欧盟”复苏基金资助的大规模公共投资计划将使得意大利经济每年多增长约1个百分点。长期而言,意大利经济的健康发展与公共债务的可持续性仍有赖于推行大胆而具有深远意义的改革。
Following a sharp rebound in 2021,Italy’s economy expanded briskly in 2022. However,the Russia-Ukraine conflict and its terms-of-trade consequences increasingly affected activities during the year,grounding the economy to a halt in 4Q22. The short-term outlook is nevertheless encouraging as the energy counter-shock will reduce inflation and support economic growth. Moreover,the massive EU-financed public investment programme will add about one percentage point per annum to economic growth over the next three years. However,the longer-term health of the economy and the sustainability of public debt rely upon the launch of bold and far-reaching reforms.
