02 July 2021 In 2020, the crisis hit the North-West and North-East areas the most, where the Gross Domestic Product decreased in volume by 9.1%. The contraction was less pronounced in the Center (-8.8%) while the South suffered the smallest loss (-8.4%). The GDP of the Center-North fell by 9%.



This is what emerges from an Istat report on the preliminary estimate of GDP and territorial employment.



The sector most penalized by the health emergency was that of Commerce, public establishments, transport and telecommunications which in the North-East and in the South lost 14.5% of the added value. 



Employment decreased more evenly across the country: -2.1% in the North-West and the South, -2% in the North-East and -1.9% in the Center.
