This survey investigates consumers' economic and financial choices and their expectations for the future trends of various economic indicators. It also includes a thematic section that varies with each survey wave.
For each ISCE survey, conducted on a quarterly basis, the report provides periodic updates on Italian consumer expectations regarding the macroeconomic and microeconomic landscape, as well as findings from specific thematic sections.
The findings reveal a growing distrust among consumers regarding the country's capacity for economic growth and job creation, with expectations notably more pessimistic than those of major forecasting institutions. Expected consumption for the next twelve months has also declined, while energy costs are once again weighing heavily on household spending, driven by a new cycle of price increases. Meanwhile, consumers anticipate being able to invest their savings at relatively high, though gradually declining, rates of return compared to previous quarters.
