ROME, April 20 (Reuters) - Persistent high inflation is
worrying and it could hamper Italy's economic growth over time,
the country's central bank said on Thursday.
Sergio Nicoletti Altimari, head of Economics and Statistics
Department at the Bank of Italy, said that a "timely and
effective" implementation of the national post-COVID recovery
plan was a key factor in boosting the country's growth scenario.
He spoke during a parliamentary hearing on the Treasury's
latest economic forecasts.
