Bank of Italy Governor Ignazio Visco
said Monday that the nation's GDP could rise by over 4% this
year, while warning that it was necessary to be ready for the
end of COVID-19-linked aid to businesses.
"Productive activity is strengthening and there could be an
acceleration of the recovery in the coming months with the
continuation of the vaccination campaign," he said.
He said the support policies would eventually be removed and
that "it is necessary to be prepared for the changes in order to
respond to events and unexpected developments".
He added that, once the emergency is over, it will be necessary
to "maintain support for those who lose their job".
