For Christmas gifts + 270 million, but one family of 4 without thirteenth
ROME. – The 2014 was yet another difficult year in a long line, just think that incomes since 1995 have grown half compared to the tax authorities, but hope does not die and Christmas is always Christmas: so for the gifts Italians will spend 7 billion euro, 270 million compared to last year. Well a family of four, however, can not count on the thirteenth. The photograph of the festivities coming consists of studies and research carried out by different associations: Confesercenti, Unioncamere, CGIA Mestre, Coldiretti. According to the survey of Confesercenti-SWG 47% of Italians are close to Christmas with an attitude “hopeful”: will be perhaps for the slight increase of the thirteenth, which this year thanks to low inflation and increases the contractual amount to 42.8 billion , 0.6% more than in 2013. And so under the tree will end 7 billion in gifts, 270 million more than in 2013, with an eye to the convenience more than quality. Behind the positive numbers, however, hides the other: for example, that a family of four (versus 22% last year) can not count on ‘salary in December’, or that will blend well 12.8 billion in mortgages or outstanding accounts, or, finally, that in general 60% will reduce the cost of Christmas. Among the expenses that will be cut, Coldiretti warns, there will be spending symbolic par excellence, that is, the tree will be well if four million families who will buy it, but spending will fall by 10%. Confident are, according to Unioncamere, the food industry, the electrical and electronic equipment and means of transport: these are the areas that see an improvement in their performance in close to Christmas. What is certain is that the portfolio of the Italians is extremely lightweight in the last 18 years, in which nominal incomes, according to CGIA Mestre, grew by 19% but the tax burden has been going twice as fast (+ 40%). Unfortunately, the trend of income changes completely if you sign purifies inflation from disposable income: in the same period, the real income or purchasing power, fell by 19%. The data of Cgia photographing a picture of the overall critical for the nearly 26 million Italian families, worsened further with the advent of the crisis. Only thanks to the bonus of 80 euro, in 2014 the situation will improve.
