Italy's Payments Market 2020: Pre-COVID Forecasts & Revised Outlook
Thursday, April 30, 2020
DUBLIN, April 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The "COVID-19 Impact on the Payments Industry: Italy Forecast Snapshot" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/539438/Research_and_Markets_Logo.jpg
This report focuses on the impact of the coronavirus outbreak on both the economy and the cards and payments industry in Italy. Based on proprietary datasets, the snapshot provides a detailed comparison between pre-COVID-19 forecasts and revised forecasts of total payment card, debit card, and credit and charge card transactions by value and volume. It also offers information on measures taken by the government to combat coronavirus.
Key Highlights
-- Economic growth in Italy is expected to register a dip in the first
quarter of 2020. The real GDP growth rate for Italy is expected to enter
negative growth this year, meaning one of the largest economies in the
eurozone is almost certainly in recession already.
-- Cash has historically been the preferred mode of payments in Italy and
is at the heart of the Italian economy, accounting for 78.5% of the
total payment transaction volume in 2019. This is rapidly changing due
to the outbreak.
-- While there will be a rise in debit and credit card transactions at the
cost of a decline in cash, the overall impact on electronic payments in
Italy will be negative, as consumers will spend less overall, preferring
to focus on essentials to ride out the lockdown.
The coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak, dubbed COVID-19, is first and foremost a human tragedy, affecting millions of people globally. The contagious coronavirus, which broke out at the close of 2019, has led to a medical emergency across the world, with the World Health Organization officially declaring the novel coronavirus a pandemic on March 11, 2020.
Italy is among the worst affected countries. Overall, 105,792 confirmed cases have been reported in the country, of which 15,729 have recovered. The Italian death toll rose to 12,428 as of April 1, 2020, the highest number recorded in the world so far.
It is very likely that the number of cases in Italy will increase even more, reaching the hundreds of thousands. Italy has adopted measures that are almost as stringent as those implemented by the Chinese government in Wuhan, with almost the entire country being in lockdown - schools, universities, and sports centers have all closed in response to the crisis.
