Italian term or phrase: 'fare pensare'
Entro il 2020 è previsto un risparmio annuo dell’1,9% del Pil, anche se mancano proiezioni a lungo termine, che 'fanno pensare' ad un ulteriore spostamento del limite dopo il 2018.
Opposizione e sindacati annunciano duri scontri.

Please note, 'fanno pensare' doesn't have quotation marks in source.

Does it mean 'leads one to think'? i.e. 'implies'/

'An annual saving of 1.9% of GDP is envisaged by 2020, even if long-term projections are lacking, which implies a further shift in the limits after 2018.'.
