The Italian economy continues to hold up modestly and reaffirm more resilience to end the final quarter of last year. Overall, the economy expanded by 0.7% in 2025 and that's a positive showing in keeping with the tone of more solid growth conditions in the periphery nations.
Italian inflation pressures are also kept well under control, being one of the brighter and less troubling spots for the euro area last year.
The tables have certainly turned with France now being the bad egg of the region, not least also plagued by political and fiscal worries - the two things that have placed Italy at the bottom of the ladder previously.
