FX.co ★ Italian Industrial Sales Rebound in May, Turning Positive After April Dip

Italy’s industrial sector showed signs of renewed momentum in May 2026, as industrial sales moved back into positive territory on a month-over-month basis.

According to data updated on 29 July 2026, industrial sales rose 0.60% in May compared with the previous month. This marks a clear reversal from April 2026, when sales had declined by 0.20% month-over-month. The figures are based on a comparison of each month’s change against the immediately preceding month.

The May improvement suggests a modest but meaningful recovery in industrial demand following April’s contraction, offering a more optimistic signal for Italy’s short-term industrial outlook.
