Gross savings as % of GDP NY.GNS.ICTR.ZS

Overview
Italy's gross savings stood at 23.72% in 2025, a rise of +0.07% from 2024. The IMF projects 23.72% by 2025. Italy ranked 66th globally.
Italy’s gross savings rate has declined steadily from its all‑time peak of 27.59 percent in 1970 to a trough of 17.56 percent in 2010, before modestly rebounding to 23.72 percent in 2025, placing the country 66th in the world. The 56‑year series shows a long‑term downward bias, reflecting demographic ageing, persistent current‑account deficits and relatively low private‑sector capital formation. By contrast, peer economies such as Ecuador (23.76 percent) and Lithuania (23.54 percent) are marginally higher, suggesting that Italy’s savings gap is not solely a regional phenomenon but may be linked to structural factors like pension reforms and fiscal constraints. The recent uptick since 2010 hints at a possible stabilization, yet further improvement will likely depend on policies that boost household disposable income and incentivize corporate retention of earnings. Continued reforms aimed at enhancing financial inclusion and reducing debt burdens could shift the trajectory upward in the coming decade.
