Italy sovereign credit rating assessment

Overview

Fitch affirmed Italy’s sovereign credit rating at ‘BBB+’ with a stable outlook. The agency attributed this to political stability, fiscal prudence, and a diversified economy.

While noting institutional strength, Fitch identified the very high level of public debt and limited medium-term growth prospects as significant constraints. For 2026, a deficit of 2.9% of GDP is projected, supported by public investments such as the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR). However, a slowdown is anticipated from 2027 as inflation affects consumption and support from the NextGenerationEU program tapers off.
