Bankitalia, Malamisura: "Crescita contenuta dell'economia in Calabria"
Calabria's economy is growing, but at a slow pace, according to a report by the Bank of Italy.
The report, which was released on Thursday, found that the region's gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 0.9% in 2022, compared to 1.6% in 2021.
The slowdown in growth was due to a number of factors, including the war in Ukraine, which has led to higher energy prices and inflation.
The report also found that the unemployment rate in Calabria is still high, at 11.3%, compared to 8.7% in the rest of Italy.
However, the report also noted some positive signs for the Calabrian economy. The tourism sector, which is a major source of revenue for the region, is recovering from the pandemic.
In addition, the report found that there is growing interest in investing in Calabria, particularly in the renewable energy sector.
Overall, the report paints a mixed picture of the Calabrian economy. While the region is growing, the growth is slow and there are still a number of challenges to overcome. However, there are also some positive signs that suggest that the region's economy is heading in the right direction.
Here are some of the key findings of the report:
