Key Takeaways
– Modest but steady growth: Italy’s GDP expanded by approximately 0.54% in 2025, according to the World Bank — a sign of resilience rather than dynamism in Europe’s fourth-largest economy.
– Inflation has cooled dramatically: Consumer prices rose by just 1.53% in 2025, down sharply from the energy-driven spikes of recent years, according to World Bank data.
– Unemployment at historic lows: The jobless rate fell to 6.39%, a level that would have seemed unthinkable a decade ago and signals a slowly modernising labour market.
– A heavyweight economy: With GDP of $2.55 trillion and GDP per capita of $62,802 (PPP), Italy remains firmly among the world’s top industrial nations despite its structural challenges.
– Political continuity: President Sergio Mattarella, in office since 2015, provides a steady hand in a system that has seen frequent government turnover since the post-war era.
