Uncertainty in the manufacturing
sector recovery is set to continue for a few months, ISTAT
national statistics bureau said in its monthly economic bulletin
Friday. The construction sector experienced "the first positive
results" in the fourth quarter of 2015, ISTAT added. November
industrial production and turnover were -0.5% and -1.1%
respectively, compared to +0.5% and +1.9% in October. January
manufacturing confidence was down slightly due to "worsened
expectations on orders and production". Market services
confidence also fell on negative economic expectations across
all sectors, while large-scale retail distribution is
experiencing "a significant deterioration" of sales
expectations, ISTAT said.
