Italy: Ineffective business closings improve ecology
  • Each day 134 shops, restaurants and bars close in recession-hit Italy, retail association Confesercenti said on Wednesday. Confesercenti, which represents small and medium-sized businesses in the retail and tourism sectors, said 224,000 enterprises had closed their shutters since the start of the global economic crisis in 2008.

    "It's a massacre," said Confesercenti President Marco Venturi.

    "Every day five green grocers, four butchers, 42 clothes shops, 43 restaurants and 40 bars and catering business close down".
