Italian GDP is flat in third quarter and 0.8% higher over the year
Italy’s gross domestic product was unchanged in the third quarter of 2026 from the preceding quarter and rose 0.8% from a year earlier, Istat reported on 30 October. The preliminary estimates measure chain-linked volumes adjusted for seasonal and calendar effects.
Event / data period:
Published: · Updated:
Value added increased in services and agriculture but declined in industry. Domestic demand, including inventory changes, contributed positively, while net foreign demand contributed negatively. The release describes these directions without publishing numerical growth rates or contributions for the individual components.
Istat put calendar-adjusted carry-over growth for 2026 at 0.8%. This calculation assumes that the remaining quarter stays at the latest observed GDP level; it is not a prediction of fourth-quarter growth. The methodological note warns that incomplete early indicators can lead to larger revisions than in the later national-accounts estimate.
