Italy: Deeper structural reforms, fiscal consolidation will strengthen Italian recovery
May 9, 2011--The Italian economy is continuing to recover from the very deep recession that it shared with most OECD countries, but more can be done to boost resilience, according to a new OECD report. A combination of well-targeted macroeconomic and structural policies would help achieve sustained growth, as well as contribute to fiscal consolidation, it adds.
The OECD Economic Survey of Italy, presented today in Milan by OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría and Italian Minister of Economy and Finance Giulio Tremonti, says the strength of the recovery is uncertain.
“Italy’s economy is recovering, and we expect that growth will be somewhat stronger next year,” Mr. Gurría said. “But we should not underestimate the task ahead. Italy must take additional steps to make growth more robust and boost its resilience to future shocks.”

May 5, 2011-- European Union trade chiefs are planning to strip away special export advantages granted to China, India, Indonesia and scores of other fast-growing economies, an EU source said Thursday.
In total, more than 80 emerging economic players also including the likes of Morocco would lose from 2014 benefits gained under a special regime when exporting to Europe's single market of half a billion consumers, 20 million companies and major state buyers.
The European Commission is discussing a plan to prune radically "to around 90 countries" its existing list of General System of Preferences (GSP) beneficiaries, which currently numbers 176 territories "not classified by the World Bank as high-income countries and which are not sufficiently diversified in their exports."
