Abstract:
Italy, the sixth largest economy in the world, has made tremendous progress over
the years. Italy's entry into the euro zone has prompted many of the recent
positive developments including increased competition, reduced red tape and
growing privatisation. The industrial North-Centre is the growth engine for the
country. In 2002, Silvio Berlusconi, Italy's richest man, was re-elected Prime
Minister. He has promised to speed up privatisation, reform the state pension
system, introduce labour market reforms and reduce the role of the government.
But Berlusconi's own credibility is under threat, in view of the several
lawsuits pending against him. The case can be used to illustrate the
considerations involved while framing economic policies in a developed nation
with weak institutions.
