Italian national statistics agency
ISTAT said Thursday that it saw positive growth prospects for
the eurozone. It said business indicators for the area have been
positive in recent months, suggesting a continuation of the
recovery. In the first quarter, the eurozone economy is expected
to have grown at a similar pace as registered at the end of 2016
(+0.4%), then slightly faster in Q2 (+0.5%) before returning to
+0.4% in Q3 2017, it said. "Investment is forecast to
strengthen, driven by improved expectations about the near-term
outlook," ISTAT said.
