ISTAT said Tuesday that Italy's GDP
is expected to rise 1.4% in real terms in 2018.
"Domestic demand will provide a contribution of 1.5
percentage points, slightly counterbalanced by the negative
contribution of inventories (-0.1 pp) while the foreign demand
will account for a null contribution," the national statistics
agency said.
The agency warned, however, that downside risks linked to the
international trade situation and oil prices could reduce this
year's GDP growth by 0.2 of a percentage point, taking it down
to 1.2%.
