Q2 GDP Set to Slow to 0.1% Says Prometeia

Rome: Italian GDP growth is set to slow to 0.1% in the second quarter, the Prometeia think tank said Friday.

According to Ansa News Agency, Prometeia released a quarterly update indicating that the growth of Italian GDP in the second quarter appears to be slowing to 0.1%. The outlook for the remainder of the year remains uncertain, with expectations of continued sluggish growth.

The report further predicts that 2025 will close with an average GDP growth of 0.6%, with 0.4 percentage points attributed to expenditures financed by European aid from the major EU-funded post-COVID National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP).

In the first quarter of 2025, Italy experienced a growth rate of 0.3%, as reported by Prometeia.
