ROME- Italy will spend additional 500 million euros ($593 million) this year in a number of measures to support the country's automotive market, according to a draft of a new stimulus package to help recovery after the coronavirus crisis.
The draft decree, seen by Reuters on Wednesday, reinforces measures introduced earlier this year, which include incentives to buy electric and hybrid cars, as well as the latest generation of petrol and diesel cars.
