Italians and 'lo spread': An Obsession That No Longer Matters

Reported 2 days ago

The concept of 'lo spread', referring to the difference between Italian and German bond yields, has dominated Italian political and economic discourse since the eurozone debt crisis in 2011. Recently, Prime Minister Meloni highlighted a dip in this spread, but economists argue that its relevance has diminished given changing economic landscapes. While Italy grapples with a significant public debt burden, reliance on the spread as a key economic indicator seems misguided, as market volatility is influenced more by external factors than Italian policies.
