2026.02.2609:00:00UTC+00Italian Business Confidence Slips in February, Signalling Growing Caution

Italian business confidence edged lower in February 2026, indicating a more cautious outlook among companies as the new year progresses.

The business confidence indicator fell to 88.5 in February from 89.2 in January 2026, according to the latest data updated on 26 February 2026. The decline, while modest, extends the weakening trend in sentiment and suggests Italian firms are becoming slightly less optimistic about current and near-term business conditions.

With the February reading remaining below the 90-point level, the data point to an environment where companies may be reassessing investment and hiring plans, reflecting uncertainty around demand and operating conditions in Italy’s corporate sector.
