  • The Chemical Industry in Italy: Situation and Outlook
    THE CHEMICAL INDUSTRY IN ITALY: SITUATION AND OUTLOOK JANUARY 2020 GERMANY BRINGS DOWN EUROPEAN MANUFACTURING, BUT STABILISATION IS FORESEEN FOR 2020 Weakness in industry impacts, but does not halt world growth The current slowdown is driven by manufacturing, troubled by many different factors, such as crisis in the automotive, trade war between the US and China, stagnation of international trade and further uncertainties in the geo-political picture (such as the instability in the Middle East). These tensions reflect a wider phenomenon characterized by widespread social unease, sense of insecurity, conflicts between countries and crises of international institutions. Issues such as climate change and social equity have become a major part of the political agenda, but, due to the insufficient capacity of coordination between the major players on the world’s stage, there are no clear answers. In this context, politics may play a significant role in preventing further deterioration, but significant improvement are unlikely. As a result, world trade will only slightly improve in 2020 (+1.2% from +0.5% in 2019). The prolonged weakness of manufacturing will amplify the world economy slowdown (GDP forecast from +3.0% in 2019 to +2.6% in 2020), but a more abrupt downturn will be avoided thanks to broadly expansive economic policies and resilient service sector. Oil price volatile, but not steadily high In the next year the price of oil is expected to be, on average, slightly above $60, i.e. at levels substantially in line with 2019. The effects of production cuts made by OPEC Plus will be offset by weaker demand and a continuous increase in American supply.
