Italy's economy will grow 1% this year, business lobby Confindustria said on Wednesday, upgrading its previous 0.5% forecast from March. The upward revision follows stronger-than-expected first-half activity driven by European Union post-COVID-19 funds. However, the lobby warned that higher inflation and interest rates will slow growth ahead.
