Beginning in 2022, after the COVID-19 pandemic, Italy restarted with a resilient economy<ref>{{cite news |title=Pil, continua il trend positivo: la produzione cresce di quasi 100 miliardi rispetto al 2021 |url=https://www.ilgiornale.it/news/politica-economica/pil-italiano-cresce-100-miliardi-2372138.html |access-date=24 September 2024 |agency=ilgiornale.it |publisher=ilgiornale.it |date=23 September 2024}}</ref> which nonetheless had to face the [[Global energy crisis (2021–2023)|global energy crisis of 2021-2023]], involving an increase in gas and other energy prices due to the [[Russian invasion of Ukraine]] on 24 February 2022. This crisis created the need to find an alternative supplier to Russia, subject to [[International_sanctions_during_the_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine#EU_sanctions|European Union sanctions]].
With rising energy prices, inflation [[2021–2023_inflation_surge#Europe|rose in Europe]], which was addressed by the [[European Central Bank]] with a progressive increase in interest rates.
Furthermore, the PNRR ({{Interlanguage link|Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza|it}}) had to be re-calibrated and re-agreed with the [[European Union]], to address the new geopolitical situation which led to the [[Economic_impact_of_the_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine|energy crisis and damage to supply chains]], causing shortages in raw materials.<ref>{{cite news |title=Prezzi del gas e impatto sull'economia.

In March 2023, the [[2023 United States banking crisis|United States banking crisis]] occurred with some bankruptcies and restructuring of American banks, however it was soon understood that it was a short-lived economic-financial phenomenon limited to the United States, although with some concern, it has not had an impact in the European area, with the exception of the collapse of [[Credit Suisse]], in [[Switzerland]]. As a consequence, Italy is witnessing a tightening of its credit policies. 

For Italian banks, there was an opportunity to strengthen themselves, thanks to the high rates imposed by the [[European Central Bank]]. The new BTP Valore bonds were released, which were very successful among the private operators to whom they were marketed due to the high interest rates.<ref>{{cite web |title=BTP Valore, il titolo di Stato per i piccoli risparmiatori |url=https://www.mef.gov.it/focus/BTP-Valore-il-titolo-di-Stato-per-i-piccoli-risparmiatori/ |website=mef.gov.it |access-date=24 September 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=BTp Valore, raccolti 14,6 miliardi in tre giorni.

In 2024, however, the Italian economy continues to maintain its resilient strength, thanks to the reduction in energy prices, and the maintenance or reduction of oil prices, this stability allows a reduction in inflation. In September 2024, the European Central Bank has decreased interest rates by 0.25 percentage points. The Italian economy copes with a geopolitical scenario that was significantly deteriorating with the exacerbation of ongoing war conflicts. Strategic assets are better protected, in particular the [[Defense Sector|defense sector]]. Furthermore, the implementation of the PNRR plan, which must be completed by 2026, has brought benefits to many economic sectors.<ref>{{cite news |title=Con la spinta del Pnrr fino a 3,9 milioni di assunzioni nei prossimi 5 anni: finanza, commercio e turismo in pole |url=https://www.ilsole24ore.com/art/con-spinta-pnrr-fino-39-milioni-assunzioni-prossimi-5-anni-finanza-commercio-e-turismo-pole-AFjq06kD |access-date=24 September 2024 |agency=ilsole24ore.com |publisher=ilsole24ore.com |date=6 September 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Perché dopo il Covid il Pil italiano cresce più di Germania e Francia |url=https://24plus.ilsole24ore.com/art/perche-il-covid-pil-italiano-cresce-piu-germania-e-francia-AGONuxB |access-date=25 September 2024 |agency=ilsole24ore.com |publisher=ilsole24ore.com |date=25 September 2024}}</ref>
