Italy's calendar-adjusted and
seasonally adjusted GDP rose by 0.3% in the first quarter of
this year compared to the previous three months and by 0.6% with
respect to the equivalent period in 2024, according to
preliminary estimates released by Istat on Wednesday.
"The quarter on quarter change is the result of an increase of
value added in both agriculture, forestry and fishing, and
industry, whereas the contribution of services was null," the
national statistics agency said.
"From the demand side, there is a positive contribution by the
domestic component (gross of change in inventories) and a
negative one by the net export component.
"The carry-over annual GDP growth for 2025 is equal to +0.4%".
The Italian economy had grown by 0.2% in the fourth quarter of
2024 with respect to the previous three months.
