What

Italy is reporting its advance year-over-year GDP growth rate for the second quarter of 2026, with preliminary data suggesting a 0.4% increase.

Who

The data is released by Italy's national statistics agency ISTAT, with forecasts provided by the Bank of Italy, the European Commission, and the retail group Confcommercio.

Context

Italy's economy has seen growth below 1% for the past three consecutive years, with 2025 growth at 0.5% and 2024 at 0.7%.

Reuters istat.it

Stakes

Confirming growth above -0.8% validates that the economy avoided contraction in Q2, supporting confidence in the projected near-1% annual growth for 2026.

ansa.it

Note: The advance estimate from Confcommercio is a preliminary figure; the final official GDP release by ISTAT may differ slightly, though a move from +0.4% to below -0.8% would represent an extreme and unlikely revision.
