Both Italian consumer and business
confidence have fallen this month, Istat said on Friday.
The national statistics agency said its consumer-confidence
index shrank from 98.3 to 97.4 in October.
Its IESI (Istat Economic Sentiment Indicator)
business-confidence index decreased from 95.6 to 93.4, taking
it to its lowest level since April 2021, Istat said.
It said the decline in business optimism was driven by a
"deterioration in the manufacturing sector and in market
services".
