(ANSA) Rome, October 31 - Italy's economic slowdown is
expected to continue until at least the end of this year, the
state-run statistics agency Istat said Friday.
"The cyclical evolution of the economy will remain weak,"
Istat said in its monthly bulletin, "the composite predictive
indicator, made up starting with an ensemble of variables
(quantitative and qualitative), in fact continues to outline a
slow down in economic activity in the final months of the year".
