MNI BRIEF: Italy's Growth Outlook Almost Unchanged -BOI

Italy's economy is expected to grow by 0.6% in both 2025 and 2026, and by 0.8% in 2027, Bank of Italy projections showed on Friday.

Inflation is seen at 1.7% in 2025, 1.4% in 2026 (0.1 percentage point less than the previous projection), 1.6% in 2027 (0.3 less) and 1.9% in 2028, including the effects of the ETS2 emissions-trading scheme.

The projections contrasted with an upgrade to the eurozone’s growth outlook in the ECB’s projections on Thursday. (See MNI ECB WATCH: Holds, Stresses No Set Rate Path)
