(ANSA) – ROME, MAY 21 – Italian GDP growth will slow in 2025 amid high geopolitical uncertainty, Istat said in its annual report on Wednesday.
“The most recent forecasts for 2025 are of a slowdown in growth compared to the already moderate trend of 2024, mainly as a consequence of the effects of the evolution of global trade policies”, the national statistic institute said in the 2025 report referring to growth estimates including those of the IMF (+0.4%) and the Bank of Italy and the Ministry of Economy and Finance (+0.6%) against the 0.7% recorded in 2024.
The prospects for 2025, explained the stats agency, are conditioned “by the possible evolutions of international geopolitical tensions that make every forecast subject to large margins of uncertainty”. Istat also notes the “clear improvement” in public accounts with the decrease in net debt from 7.2% to 3.4% of GDP and a debt that has grown by seven tenths to 135.3%, less than estimated by the Structural Budget Plan (PSB) and the European Commission, due to interest expenditure (2 tenths) and the reduced growth of GDP.
