GDP rises 0.3% in Q4, +0.7% in 2025
This figure is higher than the government's estimate of +0.5 per cent in October's Public Finance Planning Document.
In the fourth quarter of 2025, the gross domestic product increased by 0.3% compared to the previous quarter and by 0.8% in trend terms. ISTAT estimates this when releasing the preliminary GDP figure. In 2025 GDP, expressed in chain-linked values with reference year 2020, adjusted for calendar effects and seasonally adjusted, increased by 0.7% compared to 2024 (there were three fewer working days in 2025 than in 2024). The 2025 figure is higher than the one estimated by the government in the October Public Finance Planning Document, which was +0.5%.
The acquired change in GDP for 2026, i.e. the change that would be achieved if all quarters of this year recorded a zero change in GDP, is 0.3%. The government set the target for 2026 at +0.7% in the planning framework of the October Dpfp.
