FX.co ★ Italian Consumer Sentiment Slips in April, Thomson Reuters IPSOS PCSI Falls to 43.12

Italy’s consumer confidence weakened in April 2026, according to the latest Thomson Reuters IPSOS Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI) data. The index declined to 43.12 in April, down from 47.53 in March 2026.

The drop suggests that Italian households have become more cautious about their economic outlook and personal financial conditions. While the data released on 09 April 2026 does not specify the underlying drivers, the lower reading indicates a deterioration in sentiment compared with the previous month’s level.

The April figure marks a notable retreat from March’s reading, underscoring a loss of momentum in consumer confidence as the second quarter of 2026 begins.
