FX.co ★ Italy Industrial Output Edges Up in March

In March 2025, Italy's industrial production experienced a slight increase of 0.1% compared to the previous month. This follows a significant decrease of 0.9% in February and is below market predictions, which anticipated a 0.5% rise. The modest growth in March was primarily attributed to increased production in capital goods, which rose by 2.2%, and intermediate goods, which increased by 1.1%. Conversely, there was a decline in production for consumer goods and energy, which fell by 1.3% and 1.9% respectively. When viewed on an annual basis, industrial output fell by 1.8% in March, though this reflected a slight improvement from the revised 2.6% decline recorded in the previous month.
