意大利国家统计局（ISTAT）周四公布，意大利10月商业信心上升，但消费者信心下降，给欧元区第三大经济体的前景释放出好坏参半的信号。
Italian business confidence rose in October but consumer morale declined, national statistics bureau ISTAT reported on Thursday, in mixed signs for the prospects of the euro zone's third largest economy.
ISTAT的消费者信心指数从上月的91.2降至90.3，低于路透社对八位分析师调查的中位预测值90.9。综合商业信心指数（涵盖制造业、零售业、建筑业和服务业）从9月的95.9升至96.6。制造业分项指数保持在91.9不变，大体符合路透社共识预测的92.0。
意大利经济上半年表现好于预期，第一季度增长0.3%，第二季度增长0.2%。ISTAT将于周五发布第三季度GDP速报值，路透社共识预测指向环比增长0.1%。
