ECONOMY
The Bank of Italy on Friday lowered its expectation for
economic growth this year to 2.6% from a forecast of 3.8% given
in January, citing the uncertainty surrounding Russia's invasion
of Ukraine.
However, the bank said its forecasts were drawn up before
national statistics institute ISTAT revised up Italy's first
quarter gross domestic product data on May 31 to show a 0.1%
increase instead of a previously reported 0.2% decline.
This revision, all else being equal, would add 0.4
percentage points to Italy's growth this year, the bank said,
meaning it would probably be around 3% rather than 2.6%.
