Italy's economic mood continues to show signs of recovery, as the Thomson Reuters IPSOS Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI) indicates an uptick in consumer confidence. As of September 2025, the index has risen to a value of 47.13, following a previous score of 45.42 in August. This development marks a significant recovery in consumer sentiment amid ongoing economic challenges.
The latest indicator, which was updated on September 11, 2025, suggests a positive shift in the perception held by Italian consumers regarding their personal financial situations, economic expectations, and overall confidence in the market. While still below the neutral 50-point mark, the current rise is a hopeful sign that the measures implemented to stabilize and boost the economy may be gaining traction.
This increase in the PCSI for Italy signifies a critical juncture for policymakers and businesses who are watching these metrics closely as they shift strategies to correspond with consumer behaviors. The growth in consumer confidence could lay the groundwork for further economic resilience and growth as Italy navigates through its economic recovery phase.
