ROME, March 4 (Reuters) - Italy's economy grew by 0.3% in the fourth quarter of last year from the previous three months thanks to inventory accumulation and firm investments, national statistics bureau ISTAT said on Wednesday, confirming a previous printout.
Year-on-year, fourth quarter gross domestic product in the euro zone's third largest economy increased by 0.8%, also in line with the estimate ISTAT made on January 30.
Over the whole of 2025, the Italian economy grew by 0.5% from the year earlier, ISTAT reported on Monday.
Giorgia Meloni's government is forecasting a 0.7% growth rate in 2026, which would be a fourth consecutive year of sub-1% growth despite a steady inflow of billions of euros of EU-post-COVID 19 recovery funds.
