The panic subsided when the U.S., the International Monetary Fund and European central banks granted $1.2 billion in credits to shore up the Italian economy. In the last year, the lira has gained slightly against the pound, lost only 4/10 of 1% to the dollar. But Italy's economy still faces a tough and crisis-ridden fall.
