FX.co ★ Italian Consumer Sentiment Edges Higher in May, Thomson Reuters IPSOS PCSI Shows

Italy’s consumer confidence inched up in May, with the Thomson Reuters IPSOS Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI) rising to 43.38, from 43.12 in April 2026.

The latest reading, updated on 14 May 2026, suggests a marginal improvement in Italian households’ outlook compared with the previous month. While the move is modest, the uptick indicates a slightly more positive sentiment among consumers as they assess current and future economic conditions.

The May increase follows April’s level, where the index had settled at 43.12, and may be monitored closely by policymakers and investors for signs of any sustained shift in consumer confidence in the months ahead.
