In June, the Italian consumer
confidence index rose from 96.4 to 98.3, while the business
confidence index dropped from 95.1 to 94.5, Istat said Thursday.
The stats agency noted that business confidence showed a third
consecutive decline, settling at the lowest value since November
2023.
The decline is due mainly due to the worsening registered in
manufacturing and services.
In contrast, the consumer confidence index rose for the second
month in a row and reached its highest value since February
2022.
