- The framework of our scenario
- Focus: the recovery of investment
Italy's economic growth held up in Q1, posting a rate of 0.3% over the quarter, slightly down on the 0.4% of Q4 2017. Over 12 months, growth came out at 1.4%, leaving a carryover of 0.8% for the current year. The slowdown in the global manufacturing cycle and the strong euro definitely had a bigger negative impact on exports than on imports resulting in a negative contribution to growth from external demand. Investment fell 1.4% in Q1, after three quarters of very sustained growth.
