Italy GDP Contracts as Expected
Italy’s gross domestic product contracted by 0.2 percent quarter-on-quarter in the three months to March of 2022, following an upwardly revised 0.7 percent expansion in the previous period and in line with market expectations. It was the first month of contraction following four consecutive months of growth, as the Italian economy was impacted by soaring inflation, mainly through surging energy bills and higher food prices, largely due to the war in Ukraine. Higher imports led net external demand to contribute negatively to the GDP, while domestic demand was higher. Looking ahead, Prime Minister Draghi’s government forecasts 3.1 percent in growth for the Italian economy in 2022, downwardly revised from the 4.7 percent estimate amid a highly uncertain macroeconomic backdrop.
