IMF revises Italy growth downward

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Tuesday revised downwards its GDP growth estimates for Italy in the wake of the Brexit, to below 1% in 2016 and 1% in 2017 compared to 1.1% and 1.3% in its previous forecast. Italy‘s economy is „gradually recovering“ with „modest“ growth and risks of a down turn have increased, the IMF said.
