The outward FDI flows in Italy's water supply and waste management sector are projected to exhibit a consistent negative trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting from a significantly negative base in 2024, there is a year-on-year downturn, reflecting an increase in negative outflows by percentage each year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this forecasted period indicates an average annual increase in negative outflows.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential policy shifts targeting sustainability that may influence FDI dynamics in waste management.
- Technological advancements in water conservation and waste treatment could reshape investment patterns.
- Global environmental directives and Italy’s adherence could impact the sector's attractiveness for outward FDI.
