The revision of the annual growth rate increases the platform of so-called “acquired growth” going into the third quarter to 3.6%, from 3.5% previously.
This means that even if there is no quarterly growth for the remainder of the year, full-year GDP will still be up 3.6% from 2021.
The revision was part of ISTAT’s regular data release calendar.
