Growth in Italy shows "new signs of positive change", and continues to "gain momentum" in the eurozone, according to the OECD superindex for September. The trend has also changed positively for France, and remains aimed at consolidating growth in Germany.
The positive signs are also being picked up by Moody's, which expects a return to growth in Italy after two years of recession, in a "less uncertain" global climate. The agency sees a GDP for Italy in 2013 between -2 and -1% (three months ago it was between -2,5% and -1,5%) and between zero and +1% in 2014 (it was -0,5 % and +0,5%). However, the growth of unemployment continues, expected between 12 and 13% in 2014.
