FX.co ★ Italian Industrial Production Rebounds in February with 0.5% Annual Growth

Italy’s industrial sector showed signs of renewed momentum in February 2026, with industrial production rising 0.5% year-on-year, reversing the previous month’s decline.

The latest figures, updated on 10 April 2026, mark a clear improvement from January 2026, when industrial output fell 0.6% compared with January a year earlier. On a year-over-year basis, February’s reading indicates that Italian industry has moved back into positive territory after starting the year on a weaker footing.

The comparison is based on changes in output relative to the same month in the prior year, highlighting a shift from contraction to modest growth within just one month. Investors and policymakers will now be watching closely to see whether February’s rebound can be sustained in the coming months.
