Confcommercio: impact of the war – household income down by up to €963 over two years

Rome, 14 Apr. (LaPresse) – Before the conflict, the Italian economy was showing positive signs, with inflation kept in check at 1.5%, consumption and GDP on the rise, and employment at record highs; however, energy tensions linked to the war risk reducing disposable income and consumption. In the two-year period 2026–2027, the estimated loss could reach €963 per household in the worst-case scenario, with repercussions for growth and employment. This is the analysis from Confcommercio’s Research Department, ‘The Growth Challenge to Overcome the Crisis’, presented at the Forum at Villa Miani.
