While Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni anticipates Italy's economy will grow 1 percent in 2026, matching the euro zone, her current influence score of 16/100 suggests a significant decline in political effectiveness or leverage.
Meloni projects Italy's economy will expand by 1 percent in 2026, aligning with the broader euro zone forecast. This indicates a stable, though not accelerated, economic performance for the year.
Meloni's influence score is currently 16/100, indicating a low level of political impact or capital. Despite this, she has demonstrated continuity on key foreign policy, ruling out an electoral U turn on Ukraine.
