Confindustria. Energy, Green Deal and tariffs: the obstacles to the Italian and European economies.

In the 2025–2026 period, global GDP growth is expected to remain broadly stable, at around 2.7% annually, at rates close to the pre-pandemic average (2.8% annually in 2012–2019). This is the result of a slowdown in the U.S. economy (impacted by tariffs), a consolidation of growth in emerging markets, and a slight improvement in the Eurozone, albeit from low levels.

Italian GDP in 2025 is expected to grow largely in line with what was observed in 2024: in the CSC scenario, an annual increase of +0.6% is projected, following last year’s +0.7%.
