During the month, average spending per household was 1,645 euros, 0.5% more than last year, but no It’s still far below 2019 (-7.5%), adds Confcommercio, stressing that the thirteenth total dedicated to consumption is increasing: 32.6 billion in 2021 versus 29.7 billion in 2020.
“The growth in consumption at Christmas risks being driven by fears of the pandemic, inflation, and the costs of forced consumption. To revive confidence, planned tax cuts must be accelerated, starting with EBV and corporate social security contributions.” So is the head of Confcommercio, Carlo Sangalli.
