National statistics agency Istat
on Monday forecast that Italy's gross domestic product will rise
0.8% "in real terms" this year and by 0.9% in 2017.
In a report on Italy's economic outlook, Istat said that its
forecast for growth this year had been revised down by 0.3% of a
percentage point from the prediction it made in May
Istat said that its preliminary GDP estimate for the third
quarter showed production had resumed and that the outlook
suggests Italy's economic growth will continue at a "more
moderate pace".
"The uncertainty linked to the revival of tensions on the
financial markets could condition the path of Italian growth,"
the agency said.
The government has forecast growth of 1% next year.
