Composition of the GDP on the expenditure side: household consumption (61 percent), government expenditure (19 percent) and gross fixed capital formation (17 percent). Exports of goods and services account for 30 percent of GDP while imports for 27 percent, adding 3 percent to total GDP.

Latest Updates

The Italian gross domestic product expanded by 0.3% from the previous quarter in the final three months of 2025, according to a preliminary estimate. The growth rate was above market expectations of a softer 0.2% and the 0.1% from the previous quarter, indicating some fresh traction in the Italian economy. Output expanded broadly across all sectors of the economy, with sharper rates seen in agriculture and industry. On the demand front, domestic expenditure was sharply higher, offsetting a negative impact from net foreign demand due to tariff turbulences with the US. On the year, the estimate reflects a 0.7% expansion in 2025, ahead of the Bank of Italy's forecast of a 0.6% rise.
