The index also estimates that economic growth in the 4th quarter of 2016 was +0.22% compared to the previous quarter.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Milan, 20 January 2017<\/em> \u2013 In 2016, Italy’s Gross Domestic Product grew by 0.93%<\/strong>, as estimated by the Uvet Travel Index<\/strong>, the index created by the Uvet Group<\/strong>, a tourism distribution group with a turnover of 2.4 billion euro, the scientific part being edited by The European House \u2013 Ambrosetti<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Uvet Travel Index<\/strong> is based on a statistical-econometric model that predicts the trend of the Italian economy from data on the dynamics of business travel, stored in a database of several<\/strong> million pieces of information<\/strong>, which is still updated since records began on 1 January 2006. The index provides indications in real time on the national economic cycle <\/strong>and is published ahead of – even by weeks – the official ISTAT data.<\/p>\n

The statistical-econometric processing is done on the basis of data on travel made by companies and professionals across a sample of 700 companies that are representative of the Italian economy.<\/p>\n

Introduced for the first time in 2012 the Uvet Travel Index has, over time, acquired a reputation and is shared <\/strong>not only amongst professionals in the industry, but also in the world of economic media<\/em> and represents a reliable indicator in terms of the Italian economy’s outlook.<\/p>\n

Due to its particular construction, the index tends to get better<\/strong> over time<\/strong> with the expansion of the historic data to analyse and the total volume of data available. Recent publications have, in fact, confirmed the high levels of reliability reached: in 94% of cases, the Uvet Travel Index was able to correctly predict, within certain confidence parameters, the dynamics of the Italian economy.<\/p>\n

On the basis of the final data for the year, it also emerges that, for the 4th quarter of 2016, the UVET Travel Index estimates economic growth of 0.22%<\/strong>, in line with that estimated for the third quarter. This represents a continuation of the moderate growth recorded from July to September, but without the acceleration that the country would need.<\/p>\n

From the lowest \u201cpeak\u201d, recorded in the second quarter of 2014, the UVET Travel Index has marked a slow and gradual recovery, in line with the GDP, anticipating the data on the growth in the Italian economy, albeit limited, which has been happening to date.<\/p>\n
