Confindustria Study Centre: 2026 GDP estimate raised to +1%, 2027 remains at +0.6%

Pubblicato il Rapporto di previsione d’autunno del CsC

Translated from Italian Read in Italian

The Centro Studi Confindustria has raised its estimate of Italian GDP growth for 2026 to 1.0%, aligning it with the government's forecast, and expects growth to slow to 0.6% in 2027. This represents an upgrade from its March forecast of 0.5% for 2026 and 0.6% for 2027. The Centre's prediction assumes current legislation remains in place and does not factor in a national safeguard clause worth €14.4 billion for 2026-27.

It warns that energy prices could be a major vulnerability for the Italian economy in 2027, potentially leading to "zero growth" if Brent crude reaches $126 per barrel.
