Italy Business Confidence
Italy's business confidence held steady at 87.3 points in September 2025, showing no change from August 2025. This stability is driven by balanced sectoral performances as gains in services offset losses in retail. Manufacturing confidence also remained constant due to counteracting sub-sector trends. Ongoing global trade uncertainties contribute to the current economic sentiment. Italy's record low business confidence was 63.9 points in May 2020 and record high was 105.3 points in October 2021.
