How the Italian economy has been hit by Covid-19 (and how it could recover).

Silvia Merler, Head of Research Algebris Policy & Research Forum, analyses the Italian scenario and summarises the estimates and views she further explores with her team in the latest Algebris Policy & Research Forum’s paper “COVID-19 IN ITALY. An early estimate of the impact on the economy”.
