Consumer and business confidence both
continued their downwards trend in September, with the latter
falling to the lowest level since October 2022, ISTAT said on
Thursday.
The consumer confidence index fell from 106.5 to 105.4 and the
IESI composite index of business confidence dropped from 106.7
to 104.9, the national statistics agency said.
For businesses, "the overall index stands at the same value as
in October 2022" and "the decrease extends to all sectors of
activity, with the exception of construction", added ISTAT.
"The consumer confidence index has fallen for the third
consecutive month, reaching its lowest value since last June,"
the agency added.
