Consumption of Italian families
is set to rise 1.4% in 2016, its largest annual increase in the
past decade, a report showed on Tuesday.
The Coop report said that 2016 was seen as "the year of
hope" by more than a third of Italians.
Another sixth of Italians are associating the year with
change, while for 14% the prevailing sentiment is fear.
Based on its survey of spending intentions, the report
found that per capita consumption will still remain around
levels seen in the 1990s and more than 1,700 euros less compared
to 2007.
