Italian industrial orders fell
2.7% in February compared to January, ISTAT said Thursday.
It said the figure reflected a "slight" contraction in
domestic orders (0.4%) and a more marked drop in those from
abroad (6.0%).
In year-on-year terms, too, the orders fell significantly, by
2.9%, the statistics agency said.
A 7.7% drop in overseas orders was the main cause of this,
ISTAT said.
In other economic news, pensions issued by INPS in the first

2018.
