The latest update of the Real Time Turnover (RTT) Index, produced by the Confindustria Research Department in collaboration with TeamSystem, points to a downward correction in the real turnover of Italian companies in May 2025. After April's strong rebound, the overall figure records a quarter-on-quarter decline affecting all production sectors, while still maintaining a positive carry-over for the second quarter of the year.
The main findings:
- 📉 Industry: -3.2% in May, after two months of growth.
- 🏢 Services: a marked fall, but the quarter remains positive.
- 🏗️ Construction: a slight decline (-2.7%), with a carry-over that is nonetheless positive for the fourth quarter running.
- 🌍 Geographical areas: decreases across Italy, sharper in the North-West, contained in the South.
- 🏭 Company size: widespread declines, above all among large companies, but the carry-over is still positive thanks to April's push.
👉 The aggregate figure confirms a trend that is still expansionary on a quarterly basis, despite May's short-term slowdown.
