WRI’s assessment

Italy's Logistics Growth Index eased to 51.3 in June, slipping below its three-month average as momentum moderated across key sectors. The overall moderation was primarily driven by easing business volume, as factory growth slowed following a period of stockpiling, alongside softer transportation activity constrained by geopolitical disruptions.
