LA NOTIZIA: L’Ocse gela l’Italia: tagliata la crescita allo 0,4%

Dopo Confindustria, anche l’Ocse rivede al ribasso le stime di crescita per l’Italia. L’Economic Outlook intermedio stima il Pil al +0,4% quest’anno, in calo rispetto allo 0,6% previsto a dicembre e anche rispetto al già insoddisfacente 0,5% registrato nel 2025. E la situazione non migliorerà neanche l’anno prossimo, con una crescita dello 0,6% e già rivista al ribasso di un decimo di punto. L’Ocse sottolinea come la situazione non sia la stessa in tutta Europa: “Mentre l’espansione fiscale in Germania sosterrà la crescita, soprattutto nel 2027, una politica fiscale più restrittiva costituirà un ostacolo in Italia e in Francia”.
In Italia, in più, si è già registrato un aumento dell’inflazione, iniziato prima della guerra in Iran. Quest’anno è così attesa al 2,4% contro una stima precedente dell’1,7%. Uscendo fuori dai confini, l’Ocse sottolinea che la crescita globale per ora tiene, ma con “significativi rischi al ribassi” legati soprattutto al Medio Oriente e al rischio di ulteriori aumenti dei prezzi dell’energia. Se la guerra proseguisse le conseguenze sarebbero rilevanti.
La crescita globale regge, la fiducia degli italiani no
Il Pil globale, al contrario di quello italiano, per ora regge: la stima è di un +2,9%, stabile rispetto alle previsioni di dicembre. Ma senza guerra già ora la stima sarebbe stata di tre decimi di punto in più, uno scenario però annullato dalla guerra. Che porta a prevedere anche un rialzo dell’inflazione al 4% (dal 2,8%). Con problemi pure per gli Usa, con la crescita ferma al 2% e l’inflazione attesa in rialzo al 4,2%.
Ma le cattive notizie per il ministro dell’Economia, Giancarlo Giorgetti, non sono finite qui. Gli effetti della guerra in Iran, infatti, si fanno già sentire sugli italiani: a marzo, segnala l’Istat, la fiducia è crollata da 97,4 a 92,6. Stabile invece l’indicatore del clima di fiducia delle imprese, a 97,4. Per i consumatori, sono sensibilmente peggiorate le opinioni sulla situazione economica: il clima economico scende da 99,1 a 88,1, il clima futuro da 93,1 a 85,3, il clima personale da 96,8 a 94,2.
L'articolo L’Ocse gela l’Italia: tagliata la crescita allo 0,4% sembra essere il primo su LA NOTIZIA.

The OECD freezes Italy: growth cut to 0.4%.

Following Confindustria, the OECD is also revising down growth forecasts for Italy. The OECD’s Economic Outlook intermediate estimate forecasts GDP growth of +0.4% this year, down from the 0.6% projected in December and also from the already unsatisfactory 0.5% recorded in 2025. And the situation is unlikely to improve next year either, with growth of 0.6% and already revised down by tenth of a point. The OECD highlights that the situation is not the same across all of Europe: “While tax expansion in Germany will support growth, especially in 2027, a more restrictive fiscal policy will constitute an obstacle in Italy and France.”

In Italy, inflation has already risen, beginning before the Iran war. This year it is expected at 2.4% compared to a previous estimate of 1.7%. Looking beyond Italy, the OECD notes that global growth is currently holding, but with “significant downside risks” linked particularly to the Middle East and the risk of further increases in energy prices. If the war continued, the consequences would be significant.

Global growth holds, Italian confidence does not.

Global GDP, unlike that of Italy, is currently holding: the estimate is +2.9%, stable compared to December forecasts. But without the war, the estimate would have been half a point higher, but this scenario has been cancelled out by the war. This also leads to a forecast of an increase in inflation to 4% (from 2.8%). There are also problems for the US, with growth stalled at 2% and inflation expected to rise to 4.2%.

But the bad news for the Minister of Economy, Giancarlo Giorgetti, doesn't end here. The effects of the Iran war are already being felt by Italians: in March, Istat reports that confidence collapsed from 97.4 to 92.6. Business confidence remained stable at 97.4. For consumers, opinions on the economic situation have deteriorated significantly: the economic climate falls from 99.1 to 88.1, the future climate from 93.1 to 85.3, and the personal climate from 96.8 to 94.2.
