Italy’s economy will grow just 0.6% this year, weighed down by high energy prices and an expected increase in US tariffs, according to business lobby Confindustria.

The forecast precedes a new economic outlook from Premier Giorgia Meloni’s government later this month. That is likely to be weaker than the last one due to disappointing growth in 2024 of 0.7%, instead of the targeted 1%.
