The Confindustria Research Center has issued a new warning concerning the growth of the Italian economy. The fall forecasts show a GDP gain of only 0.5% in 2025, down from April's estimates. Growth is anticipated to slow to 0.7% in 2026, down from 1% in the previous spring prediction. Economists at Viale dell'Astronomia note that the downturn is primarily related to the second quarter of 2025, when GDP fell by 0.1% due to a drop in exports. To revitalize the economy, Confindustria emphasizes the need to supplement the NRRP, which is now in its final stages, with a budget plan capable of significantly stimulating productive investment. According to industrialists, the financial affluence of Italian families could be a significant factor, as they possess assets that exceed €6 trillion, with over €1.5 trillion of that amount in bank deposits. "Mobilizing these resources", the Research Center emphasizes, "is essential to transforming savings into growth and supporting the country's recovery".
