China News Service, September 24. According to Euronet’s quoting EUN News Agency, on September 23 local time, Italian Prime Minister Draghi stated at the Confindustria annual meeting that today’s cabinet meeting had The measures are discussed and the government has no intention of increasing taxes, which will help the economy recover and grow rapidly.
On September 1, 2021 local time, Turin, Italy, Italian railway staff check passengers' green passes at the station.
According to reports, Draghi said that Italy is currently facing economic growth and rebound, which is related to the sharp decline in Italy's GDP last year. In 2020, Italy's GDP fell by 8.9%, making it one of the countries with the worst recession in Europe.
Therefore, reopening is inevitably accompanied by a strong acceleration of economic activity.
Draghi said that the challenge facing the government, the entire production chain, and the entire society is how to ensure that this recovery is lasting and sustainable.
For this reason, I want to reiterate that the most important thing now is when the government gives money, not when it takes money.
The current government forecasts that this year’s economic growth rate is estimated to be around 6%, while the forecast at the beginning of this year was 4.5%.
Draghi emphasized that in order to ensure the sustainability of the recovery, we must first prevent a major epidemic wave, and the government is taking action with the utmost determination to avoid another shutdown.
He said that the vaccination campaign should be further improved and the sense of responsibility demonstrated by the cooperation of various organizations should be established.
It is necessary to avoid the hidden economic risks behind the active recovery at this stage, maintain good labor-management relations to ensure fairness and social stability, and accelerate reform and investment plans. This is the basis for improving Italy's economic growth and maintaining long-term growth.
Draghi pointed out that currently more than 41 million people in Italy have completed vaccination, and the vaccine coverage rate for those over 12 years old is close to 77%.
Italy is about to complete and will exceed the previously set target, that is, the vaccine coverage rate will reach 80% by the end of September.
To ensure the sustainability of the recovery, we must first ensure that no new large-scale epidemics will occur.
The government is using its utmost determination to avoid re-implementing blockade control.
Draghi said that the green pass is a tool to ensure safety and freedom, which can provide protection to the people and ensure the openness of schools, factories, etc.
If the epidemic curve can be controlled, the restrictions that still exist can be further relaxed.
At present, the best temporary solution is for the state to respond to the energy crisis by changing the value-added tax and consumption tax on energy products, so that the country abandons the huge revenue in this area.
