Italien Bip-Wachstum

The Italian gross domestic product expanded by 0.3% in the first quarter of 2025, accelerating from the 0.1% growth rate in the previous period and in line with the first estimate, thus remaining above the initial market expectations of a 0.2% growth rate. It was the sharpest pace of quarterly growth in one year, reflecting some traction for the Italian economy as lower interest rates and improved confidence on its traditionally risky debt, in relative terms, spurred investments. Gross fixed investment jumped by 1.4% with support from buildings and structures (1.6%) and machinery (0.6%). In turn, household consumption rose 0.6% and public expenditure jumped 0.7%. Still, net external demand contributed negatively to GDP growth as imports surged 4.3% and exports added a softer 0.8%.
