FX.co ★ Italian Consumer Morale Above Expectations

In December 2025, Italy witnessed an increase in its consumer confidence index, which reached 96.6, recovering from November's seven-month low of 95 and slightly surpassing market predictions of 96. This boost can be largely attributed to an uplift in the personal climate index, which rose to 96.4 from 94.5 in the preceding month. Additionally, there was a positive shift in views regarding the current climate, as evidenced by the index rising to 100.2 from 98.6. The outlook for the future also showed signs of improvement with the future climate index progressing to 91.6 from 90.2, while the economic climate index saw a modest increase to 97 from 96.5. However, it is important to note that households continued to express concerns over saving prospects and unemployment expectations, which showed further signs of deterioration.
