Italian GDP growth was 1.5% last
year and will be 1.4% this year, the Bank of Italy said Friday.
It will then slow to 1.2% in 2019 and 2020, the central bank
said.
The data were slightly above last July's but a tad under last
December's.
Growth will be "boosted by domestic demand, the BoI said.
In the fourth quarter of last year GDP "grew by around 0.4%".
This confirms a positive trend of the previous quarters,
while still lagging the European average.
