Fitch said Thursday that it has
revised upwards its growth forecasts for Italy, with GDP
expected to rise 1.5% this year and 1.2% in 2019.
The agency had previously predicted growth of 1.3% in 2018
and 1% in 2019.
In its report, Fitch stressed that business and consumer
remains high.
As for the inconclusive general election earlier this month,
the agency said "the formation of a stable government is very
difficult and increases the uncertainty on the future course of
economic and fiscal policy".
