Consumer confidence is estimated to
have fallen from 114.2 to 112.4 in February, while business
confidence is up from 105.3 to 108.2, ISTAT said Friday.
Business confidence has started rising again after a steep drop
in January, the stats agency said.
The recovery is due to a "widespread improvement" in confidence
in the service and construction sectors, above all, ISTAT said.
Consumer confidence, on the other hand, has fallen for the
second straight month registering its lowest level since May
2021, due to a worsening of judgements on the general and
personal economic situation by Italian households.
