Business confidence in Italy
took a sizeable jump this month to a level not recorded since
June 2011, national statistical agency Istat said Thursday.
Its index measuring business confidence leapt to 94.9
points from 91.6 in January, Istat reported.
Across most business segments, confidence increased, the
agency said.
Retail trade morale jumped to 100.4 from a measure of 94.9
and in manufacturing, the outlook improved to reach 105.3 from
99.4, Istat reported.
Only in construction was confidence softer, dropping to
76.6 in February from 77.4 the month before.
