Italy during and after the 2008-9 crisis. Is it over? And what are its country specific and Euro-area causes and impact?

RCC is pleased to sponsor this event featuring Carlo Cottarelli, an IMF Executive Director for Italy, Albania, Greece, Malta, Portugal and San Marino since November 2014.The Italian economy has performed very poorly in the aftermath of the 2008-09 global financial crisis. This has reflected a combination of factors, some of them pertaining to the overall Euro-area crisis, some of them Italy-specific. Now Italy seems to be emerging from the crisis, although the recovery is still tentative. Why has Italy suffered so much from the 2008-09 crisis? Has its economic outlook now really improved? And how will policies and developments in the rest of the European Union affect Italy?
