FX.co ★ Italian Retail Sales Stall in February, Halting January’s Modest Growth

Italian retail sales were flat in February 2026, with the month-over-month indicator holding at 0.0%, according to data updated on 2 April 2026. This marks a pause in momentum after a 0.6% increase recorded in January 2026.

The comparison is based on month-over-month movements, meaning February’s figure reflects no change from January, while January’s 0.6% reading compared sales with December 2025. The stagnation in February suggests that the improvement seen at the start of the year has not carried forward, raising questions over the resilience of consumer spending in Italy as the year progresses.
