Affected by the global economic downturn, Italy's 200 1 economic growth is slow, lower than the government's 2% expectation. After the center-right government came to power, it launched a "100-day plan" to revitalize the economy, including encouraging investment, increasing employment, abolishing inheritance tax and gift tax, reducing the burden on enterprises, promoting industrial and infrastructure construction, reforming the labor and employment system, reducing medical expenses, raising the minimum pension, gradually abolishing the underground economy, adopting high technology, etc., which was welcomed by business owners, but the contradiction between labor and capital intensified.

In 200 1 year, the output of crude steel is 26.7 million tons, the output of plastics and tractors is the sixth in the world, and the power generation is the ninth in the world.
