In Italy, the Confidence Climate Index covers 2,000 Italian consumers. The survey is done by phone and assesses households’ economic conditions, employment and saving prospects and expected purchases of durable goods. The consumer confidence index is adjusted for seasonal effects and fixed to a base year of 2005. The value 100 indicates no evolution in consumer sentiment, a value over 100 shows increasing confidence and a value under 100 indicates low expectations.

Latest Updates

The consumer confidence index in Italy edged up to 96.8 in January 2026 from 96.6 in the previous month, but missing market expectations of 97. This was the highest reading since October 2025, supported by improved expectations for the general economic situation, including unemployment, as well as better assessments of personal financial conditions and more favorable views on the opportunity to save. Increases were seen in all main components: the economic climate (97.4 vs 97 in December), the personal climate (96.6 vs 96.4), the current climate (100.1 vs 100.2), and the future climate (92.3 vs 91.6).
