International economy has become more uneven and signs of tempering momentum are
\nemerging. The main factors behind the deceleration are the incomplete Brexit process
\nand the impact of enduring \u201ctariffs war\u201d between the United States and China.<\/p>\n
Recent trend in manufacturing sector confirmed the weakness of the Italian economic
\nactivity.<\/p>\n
The employment rate has been stabilizing, while there was a marginal reduction in the

\nfall, with few exceptions, to all the components. The leading indicator decreased further
\nsuggesting that the weakness of the Italian current cyclical position will continue in the
\ncoming months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
