The Bank of Italy on Friday confirmed
its GDP estimate released in April: +0.6% in 2025, +0.8% in 2026
and +0.7 in 2027, driven mainly by the recovery in consumption.
The increase in tariffs and uncertainty will instead penalize
investments and sales abroad, subtracting about 0.5 percentage
points from GDP growth overall in the three-year period 2025-27,
said the central bank.
The estimates assume an increase in US tariffs on EU goods of
10%, but if they were to return to the levels announced on April
2, growth would be lower by about two tenths of a point in 2025
and up to half a point in the next two years.
