Fitch Ratings Downgrades Italian GDP Growth Forecasts

Fitch Ratings cuts its growth forecasts for Italian GDP.

“We have slightly reduced our growth forecast for Italy and now expect growth of 0.9% in 2023 and 1% in 2024,” reads a report from the agency. This is due to a worse than expected result in the second quarter, when “GDP contracted by 0.4%, with household consumption stagnating”, “the volume of retail sales was 0.6% lower in the May-July period compared to the previous quarter” and the PMI indicator for August “deteriorated to well below the eurozone average”.
