GDP rose 2.1% in 2025 compared with 2024, according to ELSTAT’s revised annual national accounts data. The increase was in line with the first estimate published in March 2026.
The main figures behind this performance are as follows:
- Final consumption expenditure rose 1.8% compared with 2024 (household consumption increased 1.7% and General Government consumption 2.1%).
- Investment (gross fixed capital formation) increased by 8%.
- Imports of goods and services fell 1.7%, while exports of goods and services rose 0.4%.
According to ELSTAT, the revision to 2025 GDP compared with the initial estimate for the same year, published in March 2026 and based on the sum of the four quarters, was mainly due to the incorporation of data from the 2025 Household Budget Survey, as well as updated General Government data on public consumption, subsidies and taxes on products.
