(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 11 - The Italian economy is slowing down
and the industrial sector is hit by a crisis, the research
centre of industrial association Confindustria said on
Wednesday.
In its monthly analysis, Confindustria highlighted the "elevated
uncertainty over Italy's GDP in the third quarter, after a halt
in the third".
On the one hand, "confidence is low, the industry is in crisis,
exports are weak, the eurozone sluggish", on the other,
Confindustria's economists highlighted a "growth trend" in the
tourism sector and in services, "a constant drop in rates,
reduced inflation, the implementation of the NRRP" as
conjunctural factors driving the economy. (ANSA).
