ROMA (ITALPRESS) – In August Istat estimates an increase in both the climate of consumer confidence (the index grows from 94.2 to 94.5) and the composite indicator of the climate of trust of enterprises rising from 95.7 to 96.9.
Consumers can see an improvement in the economic climate (from 90.9 to 92.3) while the current and future climate is increasing (from 97.4 to 97.8 and from 89.8 to 90.2, respectively); personal climate remains stable at 95.4.
With reference to enterprises, an improvement of trust, albeit with different intensity, in all compartments. More in detail, in market services and, above all, in construction there are the largest increases (from 98.2 to 99.5 and from 96.8 to 102.9, respectively); in manufacturing the indicator increases slightly (from 89.7 to 89.9) and in retail trade there is a marginal increase (from 106.5 to 106.6).
As regards the components of the indexes of trust, the worsening of judgments on orders and stocks of finished products is combined with a decisive improvement of expectations on the level of production.
In construction both variables improve. Moving to the market services sector, a positive dynamic of all components is evident. In retail trade there is a positive trend in sales expectations, determined by the large distribution, while the relative judgments worsen; the balance of stock valuations increases.
