Italy is turning around. Facts and lessons for Europe.

Lecture & Discussion with Yoram Gutgeld, Chief Economic Adviser of Matteo Renzi, Government Spending Review Commissioner, and Parliament Member for Italy's Democratic Party.

Introduction: Frank Mattern, Director, McKinsey & Company Inc. / Chairman, Board of Trustees of the Hertie School

Welcome & Moderation: Helmut K. Anheier, President, Hertie School

A joint event of the Hertie School and the Italian Embassy in Berlin.

“I think you will be hard pressed to find any country in Europe that has done something similar,” Yoram Gutgeld told the Financial Times in 2014. “This is an atomic bomb.” Two years after Italy initiated a massive reform process, where does it stand? Many of its neighbouring economies have also faced an uphill battle in the wake of the euro crisis. The long recession has hit them hard. Italy, like others, has grappled with slow or shrinking growth, low productivity and high public debt. Planned reforms include massive tax cuts for middle to low income earners and overhauling labour laws to unlock spending and investment capacity, among other things. How has this plan panned out so far? And what promise could it hold for European countries facing similar problems?
