Abstract

This study examines the main factors influencing economic growth in Italy, with particular emphasis on the interrelationship between investment, government expenditure, and export growth. The impact of domestic investment, foreign direct investment, consumption expenditure, and export growth on gross domestic product (GDP) was analyzed over the period 2016–2020. Using correlation and regression analysis, it was determined that domestic investment and export growth exert a significant influence on economic growth. The findings indicate that the promotion of domestic investment and the expansion of export activities are among the key drivers of Italy’s economic growth. Furthermore, the results highlight the necessity of strengthening domestic investment and export performance to ensure sustainable economic development and long-term stability in the Italian economy.
